Attachment 4 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, AGRICULTURE, <br /> PARKS AND RECREATION <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Historic Preservation Board <br /> From: Christian Hirni, Land Conservation Manager <br /> Date: July 7, 2020 <br /> Subject: Lands Legacy Action Plan for FY 2021-23 <br /> Every three years DEAPR develops a new 'Action Plan" to guide the County's protection of land <br /> through the Lands Legacy Program. The next plan will be for fiscal years 2021-2023. <br /> DEAPR staff works with advisory boards to identify project areas to include in the plan, such as <br /> the Historic Preservation Board (HPC) for cultural and archaeological resources. <br /> Input from the HPC can be in the form of specific projects, general guidance or both. <br /> In 2017, the HPC recommended the following for the 2018-20 Action Plan: <br /> The HPC supported efforts to acquire conservation easements to protect important <br /> cultural and/or archaeological resources, including potential project to conserve <br /> resources at the Seven Mile Creek area (small roads, associated structures), and the <br /> Hillsborough Military Academy. <br /> The HPC encouraged allocating funds to support applications from high-priority <br /> candidates for Local Historic Landmark designation. <br /> The HPC encouraged the creation of an "archaeology emergency fund"for unanticipated <br /> costs of surveying and protecting historic roadbeds and archaeological sites. <br /> [OVER] <br /> Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation <br /> PO Box 8181/306-A Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> (919) 245-2510 <br />
