The National Register of Historic Places is part of a national
program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to
identify, evaluate and protect our historic resources. The
National Park Service maintains the National Register, which is
administered in Texas by the Texas Historical Commission, the
State Historic Preservation Office, and is part of its effort to
promote preservation statewide. The National Register was
developed to recognize historic places and persons who contributed
to our country's heritage. See related article, "What is the
National Register of Historic Places?" for additional information
on the significance of National Register designation.

Another focus of the new committee will be to work with the
City of Austin. Currently, the CityÕs Historic Landmark Task
Force is working on its recommendation regarding City historic
preservation requirements. Also, the City's Historic Landmarks
Commission must review any proposed changes to properties within
existing Historic Districts.
Also, many other neighborhoods in Central Austin are facing issues
such has demolition or removal of existing structures to make way
for more modern-appearing structures. This new committee will work
with these other neighborhoods as appropriate.
If you are interested in participating on the Historic Preservation
Committee, please call me at 452-9776 or send me an e-mail to the
address below. I am excited about the opportunities to build upon
the work and accomplishments that have already been achieved by
the dedicated members of HPNA.
