LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, is seeking public opinion on future historic preservation issues through an online survey at http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/annual-report/survey.aspx, AHPP Director Frances McSwain announced today.
"The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program staff is preparing to update the five-year statewide comprehensive preservation plan and we want to hear from the people of Arkansas," McSwain said. "It is vitally important that our constituents' opinions be fully and accurately reflected in the goals and objectives that will guide program decisions."
The survey will be available through September 15, after which the results will be consolidated and added to information gathered at a series of listening sessions that have been held around the state. The last three sessions will be held July 31 in Batesville, August 14 in Hot Springs and August 21 in West Memphis.
