13 <br /> October 7, 1993 <br /> Page 2 <br /> National Register and the listing process. Please note that the State Profes- <br /> sional Review Committee described in the =act sheets has been renamed North <br /> Carolina National Register Advisory Committee. <br /> If the local government and property owners within the above-referenced dis- <br /> trict are interested in having the areas nominated to the National Register, <br /> the most efficient means is for the property owners, local historical groups, <br /> and/or neighborhood associations to join forces with local government to <br /> sponsor the preparation of a formal National Register nomination. The com- <br /> munity may engage the services of a qualified National Register consultant to <br /> prepare the necessary research and documentation. The consultant would charge <br /> professional fees, based on the length of time necessary to document the dis- <br /> trict with maps, photographs, and architectural and historical analysis. In <br /> return, the community would gain the honor of listing, limited protection from <br /> potentially adverse effects of state- and federally-assisted projects, and, <br /> for income-producing historic properties, eligibility for federal investment <br /> tax credits for certified rehabilitations. <br /> The State Historic Preservation Office offers a limited 50% matching grant <br /> program to local governments to assist in the conduct of historic property <br /> surveys and National Register nominations. If you would like more information <br /> about this program, please contact one of the persons named below. <br /> Finally, I must add that listing in the National Register is separate and dis- <br /> tinct from local historic district designation under G.S. 160A-400. Whether <br /> the proposed district is ever designated a locally zoned historic district <br /> will be up to the district's property owners and the local government. <br /> if you have questions about the Orange County survey, please contact Marvin <br /> Collins, Planning Director, 306F Revere Rd. , Hillsborough, NC 27278, 919/732- <br /> 8181 ext. 2592. <br /> If you have questions about the National Register of Historic Places, contact <br /> Linda Edmisten, National Register Coordinator for the State Historic Preserva- <br /> tion Office, 109 _E.
