EDUCATION & ADVOCACY PRESERVATION UTAH ADVOCATES FOR PRESERVATION-ORIENTED PUBLIC POLICIES BY WORKING WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS AND ADMINISTRATORS, SUPPORTING RELEVANT LEGISLATION, AND PROVIDING CREATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS IN COLLABORATION WITH PROPERTY OWNERS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH LECTURE SERIES, ONGOING TOURS, AND CULTURAL EVENTS. IN ALL OF ITS OUTREACH, PRESERVATION UTAH AIMS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT UTAH'S ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION. IN 2021, PRESERVATION UTAH LED 40 PUBLIC TOURS, MOST OF THESE FREE TO THE PUBLIC. THE TOURS INCLUDED: ALLEN PARK, MAGNA MAIN STREET, MEDITATION CHAPEL, MEMORY GROVE PARK, SALT LAKE CITY CEMETERY, MODERNISM ON SOUTH TEMPLE, SALT LAKE CITY MAIN STREET, & UTAH GOVERNOR'S MANSION.


HISTORIC PROPERTIES PRESERVATION UTAH'S HISTORIC PROPERTIES PROGRAM PRESERVES AND PROTECTS UTAH'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT THROUGH LOAN, EASEMENT, AND RESTORATION / REHABILITATION PROJECTS. SINCE 1970, THE ORGANIZATION HAS MANAGED A REVOLVING LOAN FUND THAT OFFERS LOW-INTEREST LOANS TO OWNERS OF HISTORIC PROPERTY. LOAN PROJECTS MUST MEET NATIONAL STANDARDS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION TO BE APPROVED. SINCE THE LOAN PROGRAM'S INCEPTION, ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN REVITALIZED. THE EASEMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES PERMANENT PROTECTION FOR OVER 126 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. IN 2021, PRESERVATION UTAH ACQUIRED NO NEW EASEMENT PROPERTIES. WE DID ESTABLISH THREE LOANS TOTALLING 110,000. WE INSPECTED ALL OF OUR 126 EASEMENT PROPERTIES IN 2021 AND RATED WITH REPORTS OF THEIR CONDITION AND RECOMMENDATIONS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS. ADDITIONALLY, WE RECEIVED A GRANT TO IMPLEMENT AN ARCHES DATABASE FOR THE PROGRAM WHICH WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY WITH MANAGING THE PROGRAM.


OTHER PROGRAM IN 2021, PRESERVATION UTAH SPONSORED OTHER PROGRAMMING THAT ALIGNS WITH OUR MISSION, INCLUDING THE PRESERVATION CONFERENCE, HERITAGE AWARDS, AND HISTORIC HOME TOURS. THE ANNUAL PRESERVATION CONFERENCE IS THE PREMIER PRESERVATION CONFERENCE IN THE STATE OF UTAH. IT BRINGS TOGETHER PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS, TECHNICAL EXPERTS, STUDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO NETWORK AND LEARN ABOUT PRESERVATION IN OUR STATE. THE ORGANIZATION'S HERITAGE AWARDS ANNUALLY RECOGNIZE THE BEST IN UTAH'S PRESERVATION WORK. AWARD CATEGORIES INCLUDE REHABILITATION & RESTORATION, HERITAGE ORGANIZATION OR BUSINESS, ADAPTIVE REUSE, INDIVIDUAL, AND LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT. THE ORGANIZATION'S SEMI-ANNUAL HOME TOURS FOCUS ON VARIED HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS IN UTAH. THEY ARE OFFERED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND PROVIDE EDUCATION AND HISTORY ABOUT THE HOMES, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND ARCHITECTURAL STYLES OF THE FEATURED PROPERTIES. PROPERTIES SELECTED IN THE TOURS DEMONSTRATE POSITIVE CASES OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND ARE EXAMPLES TO BE REPLICATED BY THE PUBLIC IN THEIR OWN REHABILITATION WORK.
