HISTORIC PROPERTIES PRESERVATION UTAH'S HISTORIC PROPERTIES PROGRAM PRESERVES AND PROTECTS UTAH'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT THROUGH LOAN, EASEMENT, AND REHABILITATION PROJECTS. SINCE 1970, THE ORGANIZATION HAS MANAGED A REVOLVING LOAN FUND THAT OFFERS LOW-INTEREST LOANS TO OWNERS OF HISTORIC PROPERTY.

THE EASEMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES PERMANENT PROTECTION FOR OVER 125 HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN THE STATE OF UTAH. EACH YEAR, PRESERVATION UTAH INSPECTS THESE PROPERTIES AND RATES THEIR CONDITIONS. A REPORT IS GIVEN TO EACH PROPERTY OWNER WITH SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO CARE FOR THEIR PROPERTY. THE REHABILITATION PROGRAM PROVIDES THE PUBLIC WITH PRACTICAL PRESERVATION TRAINING THROUGH GUEST LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS. THE EVENTS FOCUS ON TRAINING IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES.
