Historic Preservation Planning for Local Communities
A Typical Planning Process
Step 2. What Future Do We Want for Our Heritage? Creating a Vision
Creating a vision for historic preservation in your community is a fundamental step in preservation planning.
A vision for historic preservation is basically what you want the future to be for historic and cultural resources — a description of what that future will be like.
Vision is about greatness — it engages our imaginations and expresses our ideals.
Vision is our planning destination — what we want to achieve through the planning process and plan implementation.
What's the Difference?
Vision — Mission — Goal — Objective
Vision — description of our desired future.
Mission — description of an organization's purpose.
Goal — a step to be taken to achieve our vision.
Objective — actions to be carried out to achieve the goal.
