State of New Mexico, Historic Preservation Plan
The State of New Mexico Historic Preservation Officer is required to develop a statewide preservation plan in accordance with Section 101(b)(3)(C) of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and the plan must meet the program requirements found in Chapter 6, Section G, Historic Preservation Fund Grants Manual.
The SHPO develops a written state plan and implements its recommendations. However, the plan contains objectives that other entities can more appropriately carry out. The state plan addresses the full range of historic and cultural resources in the state. The statewide plan is a strategic plan, not a department work plan. It engages the public first, then reflects the views of citizens and partners in its content. The SHPO constructed the plan so that a variety of organizations, individuals, agencies, and governments can adopt and implement actions that further its goals and objectives. The state plan was approved by the NPS and has been widely distributed and readily available for public review.
