State Historic Preservation Office - Conclusion

Conclusion

The purpose of the SHPO, with the cooperation of the local governments within their state, is to ultimately support the Federal Historic Preservation Program. It accomplishes this through its various responsibilities and purposes. With the many cultural differences between states, the SHPO has evolved to each state allowing the creation of specialized programs and the refining of the Federal Historic Preservation Program to conform within each state. The SHPO, therefore, plays an integral role in implementing the Federal Historic Preservation Program at the state level. SHPO is not only important at a state level, it is important at the National level as well. It is a collaboration of preservation ideas that lead to recognizing and protecting the United States, and their territories’, historic treasures.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:

    of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
    of the flesh.
    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
    his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 13)

    We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
