SECTION 11.01
Declaration of policy; purpose
Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (PAR) CHAPTER 36-B, TITLE B, ARTICLE 11
§ 11.01 Declaration of policy; purpose. The existence of
irreplaceable historic resources which give character and distinction to
our communities and to the state are threatened by the forces of change.
Accordingly, it is necessary and desirable to coordinate historic
preservation.

Such historic preservation should involve, among others, historians,
architects, educators, planners, realtors, public and private agencies
at all levels of government and in the private sector, and should
involve all levels of government.

The state government should assist local government and cooperate with
the national government for such purposes.

It is the purpose of this chapter to continue and encourage historic
preservation programs and activities and to vest responsibility for the
coordination of such programs and activities in the commissioner of
parks and recreation.
