(Washington, DC) - The DC Historic Preservation Office (HPO) has extended the public comment period on the draft of the District of Columbia’s historic preservation plan, Enriching our Heritage, 2016. The plan is a guide to the city’s preservation efforts for the next four years, identifying goals and suggesting actions that citizens, organizations, businesses, government agencies and others can take to achieve the long-range vision for preserving, enhancing and celebrating our city’s heritage as established by the city’s Comprehensive Plan.

HPO has already received many comments on the plan, and has posted these on the HPO website for public review. The comments have been transcribed onto a chart organized by topic. We welcome further comments on the draft plan or on any issues raised in public comments. The revised deadline for comments is June 24, 2013.
The draft plan can be viewed on the HPO’s website preservation.dc.gov and can be sent as a pdf document upon request. To obtain a copy of the draft plan or to provide comments, please contact the DC Historic Preservation Office:
