What does NOT go into a historic preservation plan?
  • Regulations, including paint color – those must be approved by City Council as an ordinance.
  • Budget amendment – this plan does not make budget changes or fund projects, which are made by City Council, but it does identify funding and timing priorities for historic preservation work.
  • An inventory or survey of historic properties in Fayetteville (although that is a project that can come out of the plan).
