• Presents annual program at the Farm-to-Table event hosted by DEAPR at Blackwood Farm Park for 41" graders from local schools (approx. 300) about historic buildings and preservation. Describe this commission's activities/accomplishments in carrying out BOCC goal(s)/priorities, if applicable. Goal Two: Promote an interactive and transparent system of governance that reflects community values. Priority 7: Improve intra-and intergovernmental coordination, cooperation and collaboration. • The HPC and the Town of Hillsborough worked together to establish a joint review process for projects affecting cultural resources (2014) that is ongoing. The HPC continues to work with Hillsborough and Carrboro to develop a process to allow the HPC to designate historic landmarks located in the ETJ's. Goal Three: Implement planning and economic development policies which create a balanced, dynamic local economy, and which promote diversity, sustainable growth and enhanced revenue while embracing community values. • Many of the HPC's major activities (Local Historic Landmarks, historic resource inventory and mapping and education/public programs) provide support for a range of heritage tourism initiatives. These activities will help ensure that historic preservation continues to be an integral part of the planning process to promote sustainable growth while respecting community values. • The Historic Resources Book will have a significant impact on cultural resource and heritage tourism in the county. The promotion and sales of the new book can be used to highlight the many historic resources, attractions and sites of cultural significance. Goal Five: Create, preserve, and protect a natural environment that includes clean water, clean air, wildlife, important natural lands and sustainable energy for present and future generations. Priority 15: Complete stewardship and management plans for Lands Legacy. • The HPC has been actively involved in the stabilization and ongoing preservation work for the historic buildings at the County's park sites, with a special focus on Blackwood Farm Park. Members have offered suggestions on potential new uses for buildings that outlived their original purpose. The collective expertise of HPC members and staff are of great value in helping the County preserve its important historic structures parks and elsewhere. If your commission played the role of an Element Lead Advisory Board involved in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan preparation process, please indicate your activities/ accomplishments as they may relate to the Comprehensive Plan's goals or objectives. • The HPC provided extensive input into DEAPR staff's development of the Natural and Cultural System Element of the Comprehensive Plan—specifically the chapter on Cultural and Historic Resources. The HPC frames its annual work plan around efforts to implement these objectives. Objective CR-1: Provide for the systematic identification of historic buildings, objects, districts, sites, structures and archaeological sites. Update and improve these inventories every 25 years. -3-
