The City is in the initial stages of planning its bicentennial celebration for 2010. History certainly will play a significant role in the celebration and could be the catalyst for historic preservation and education initiatives.
Policy 1: Identify and preserve historically significant locations and items
Issue
• Areas identified as historically significant should be protected from development or incorporated into development.
Strategies
• Develop and incorporate planning, zoning and development standards that address historic preservation.
• Integrate historically significant areas into the design of public and private improvements.
• Offer incentives to developments that preserve historically significant areas.
Policy 2: Pursue funding from income tax and non-income tax revenue sources.
Issue
• Preserving historically significant areas often comes with a price tag.
Strategies
• Seek grant opportunities from organizations, including Dublin’s Hotel/Motel Tax Fund that support historic preservation and education.
• Dedicate capital funds to preservation efforts.
• Develop incentives for preservation by private entities.
• Work with the Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau and other local organizations to promote Dublin history for economic purposes.
