In 2023, OHA began preparing to update Saving Our Past: Planning for Our Future, Alaska's Historic Preservation Plan 2018-2023. This next iteration of Alaska's historic preservation plan will cover the next ten years, from 2025-2034. During the planning process, OHA will 1) conduct meaningful public engagement, 2) address the full range of historic resources within the State, 3) identify issues affecting historic resources and seek solutions, and 4) set priorities for action during the life cycle of the plan.
If you would like to be added to our stakeholders list or have comments on the Historic Preservation Plan Update, please contact Maria Lewis at: maria.lewis@alaska.gov or (907) 269-8717 by September 15, 2024.
