Local Tools and Incentives
![Page 28: Texas’ Public Preservation Survey Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815fcc550346895dcec7da/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Respondents shared their ideas on how they could use a statewide plan:
• The plan can be a model or framework for communities that do not have the resources or expertise to develop their own plans
• It should be an educational tool in a variety of ways, including educating the general public, outlining benefits of preservation to strengthen local discussions, and serving as a central clearinghouse of information for preservation
• It should set forth consistent standards and guidelines for preservation
Using the Statewide Plan
![Page 29: Texas’ Public Preservation Survey Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815fcc550346895dcec7da/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• It needs to be implementation-focused; goals and actions need to be implementable and measurable, people at the local level need to be prepared to carry out the plan, and the plan needs to be tied to funding, grants and incentives
• It needs to encourage survey and inventory of historic and cultural resources
• It should focus on financial resources available for preservation
• It should create networks and collaborations, sharing ideas, best practices and what is working/not working for different types of communities
