04,) <br /> allow the HPC to delay it for up to a year while the Commission seeks preservation <br /> alternatives. <br /> Preservation of historic resources through local designation can be a significant and <br /> beneficial factor in the local economy. The rehabilitation of historic buildings can <br /> generate jobs, creating more jobs than the same investment in new construction. Historic <br /> rehabilitation activities have significant "multiplier effects" to the local economy, <br /> creating a positive impact on other business and to the local tax base. It can also be cost <br /> effective and sustainable, promoting the reuse and recycling of building materials and <br /> reducing the volume of construction and demolition debris in the waste stream. <br /> A local historic preservation program can be the foundation for promoting heritage <br /> tourism, which is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry in North Carolina. <br /> This trend bears further consideration by a broad group of pertinent interests in the <br /> County, such as visitors' bureaus, economic development proponents, and <br /> preservationists. <br /> A local historic preservation program has significant educational value for the enrichment <br /> of County citizens. The preservation of historic architectural resources and landscapes <br /> provide examples of past architectural styles, construction methods, and materials. <br /> Research for landmark designation reports will increase our knowledge of local history. <br /> A local historic preservation program protects the County's historical heritage and <br /> enhances the quality of life for its citizens and visitors. Preservation of historic <br /> architecture and landscape helps define traditions and values for the present and the <br /> future. It is a significant factor in Orange County's successful economic growth into the <br /> 21 st century. <br /> 6 <br /> Conclusion and Recommendations <br /> A local landmark designation program is an effective tool for protecting historic <br /> resources and promoting the values of preservation. The Board of Commissioners has the <br /> authority to implement such a program. It is consistent with existing planning goals and <br /> the Board's proven commitment to protecting its cultural resources. A landmark <br /> designation program is the next logical step in the County's comprehensive historic <br /> preservation program, building upon the extensive historic resource inventories and the <br /> historic preservation element of the county's Comprehensive Plan. A landmarks program <br /> would place Orange County in the mainstream of local government historic preservation <br /> programs in North Carolina <br /> The Historic Preservation Commission enthusiastically recommends the adoption of a <br /> local landmark designation program. The HPC also recommends that $10,000 be <br /> appropriated annually to establish a Historic Preservation Fund for National Register <br /> nominations and local designation reports. <br /> 5 <br />
