and issue a request for proposals to prepare aCtty-wide historic preservation plan Mayor Kenneth
Barr subsequently appointed a 28-member Steering Committee to oversee the preparation of the
Historic Preservation Plan
The Steering Committee will work with a nationally recognized historic preservation consultant to
prepare the plan over approximately one year This project would require surveying historic resources,
researching historic preservation tools, conducting a variety of focus group and community meetings as
well as working with the Steering Committee and public officials This project would enable the
community to answer the following questions
• What buildings, sites and districts in Fort Worth are historically significant?
• What are the community's priorities for historic preservation?
• How do property owners and the general public benefit from the preservation of these historic
resources?
• How should our community, through the public and private sectors, promote the preservation of
historic resources?
• How should our community balance historic preservation against other competing goals, such as
those relating to public safety, economic development, affordable housing, mobility, and the
protection of property rights?
