Why Preservation Matters?

Picture
Threatened  historic properties are like endangered species. Once they are gone they are gone forever. As with at-risk plants and animals only we can protect them. It is our responsibility to preserve our material history for future generations.
  • Today is tomorrow’s history
  • Preservation protects the past
  • Preservation saves at-risk old neighborhoods
  • Preservation is a wise reinvestment in and good for the local economy
  • Preservation utilizes local resources – materials and labor
  • Preservation increases property values
  • Preservation is good for the environment
  • Preservation recycles rather than replaces
  • Preservation is unique. There is nothing else quite like visiting, living or working in an historic building
  • In planning for the future, we must respect the past
 
When you think about it, historic preservation is much more than just old buildings.

The City of Mesa has compiled a list of all endangered, saved and lost buildings in Mesa. Take a moment to review this list to understand the importance of preservation. 

The Mesa Preservation Foundation is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
