Wonderful if you can do it, but beyond the pocketbook or needs of the average citizen. I would argue that historic preservation is much more like the wide variety of cars, trucks, and buses that provide us essential transportation. \n \nHistoric and archaeological sites provide a link between generations; they are central to a sense of place, an understanding that we are part of those who have come before and have a responsibility to others who inhabit the same place. \n \nWithout those links we would be like a person with amnesia who must operate in society without a memory of their past. As the world rapidly changes there is an increasing need to be good stewards of what we have inherited. The trend in the United States is certainly \n \nDivision Director Ray Luce 404/651-5061 ray_luce@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nto a new conformity where one can awake in almost any part of the nation and not be sure where \n \nyou are located. Strip malls and big box stores create a national uniformity that has few elements of \n \nindividuality. \n \nHistoric buildings, with their variety, are key to providing a sense of place. Without a sense of belonging, individuals will not care how government is conducted or how natural or cultural resources are treated. Preservation can be a major factor in connecting new and long-term residents so that they do not feel like \"sojourners in a strange land.\" \n \nHistoric and archaeological sites are also prime educational places. The destruction of an archaeological site is like destroying a page of our history before we know what it contains. Historic sites can teach us both things we want to know about the past and things we need to know. For example, at the dedication of the Jimmy Carter Boyhood home, President Carter told the audience that he thought preserving the home was important for two reasons. First, because it tells the story of the struggles he and his African American playmates endured during segregation  so that things like that will never happen again. And second, to inspire visiting children that they too could become President. \n \nHistoric sites also provide beauty by preserving the best examples of local architecture. Thomas Jefferson urged that money be spent to construct the more expensive buildings he designed at the University of Virginia so that they could raise the artistic sensibility of the students. Similarly, keeping the best examples of architecture (often the most fragile of the arts) on the campus provides a beautiful community for residents and visitors while enriching the lives of the students studying there today. \n \nHistoric preservation is terribly important to Georgia's economy and is the vehicle most communities use to revitalize their downtown. But its role in providing a sense of place and teaching lessons from the past may be even more essential if we are to prosper rather than simply exist. \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n3 \n \n HPD Accomplishments \nSFY 2005 \n 404 properties added to the Historic Resources Survey, totaling over 115,400 since 1988  51 listings added to the National Register of Historic Places, totaling 1,908 since 1969  2,000 properties added to the Archaeological Survey, totaling 45,000 since 1975  Griffin and Wrens designated Certified Local Governments; totaling 72 since 1985  2,831 Environmental Review and Compliance projects reviewed  76 approved State and Federal Preservation Tax Incentives projects representing $66,286,111  1,205 total approved State and Federal Preservation Tax Incentives projects representing \n$642,669,474 invested since 1989  7 Georgia Heritage Grants representing $100,000  6 Historic Preservation Fund Grants representing $64,500  39 Rosenwald schools located since 2001 \n Historic Preservation license plate legislation passed!

To promote the significance of these historic courthouses, HPD was awarded a $9,000 grant from the Georgia Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its purpose was to prepare a traveling exhibit highlighting the architectural and historical importance of these community landmarks. \nGeorgia's Historic Courthouses: Celebrating a Living Legacy featured contemporary photographs by James R. Lockhart, HPD's staff photographer for nearly 30 years. The Georgia Archives provided copies of historic documents as well as images from its Vanishing Georgia collection. The exhibit designer was Avient Museum Services. HPD staff prepared the exhibit text and brochure. \nThe exhibit opened in January 2006 at the State Capitol and was on display at The Georgia Trust and Georgians for Preservation Action annual reception, held in Atlanta in February. From March to June 2006, the exhibit traveled to Valdosta, LaGrange, Brunswick, and Dahlonega. Local sponsors included the Lowndes County Historical Society and Museum, the Troup County Archives, the Glynn County Board of Commissioners/Glynn County Courthouse, and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic Site. Local hosts sponsored special events that complemented the exhibit and featured their own county courthouses. The Association County Commissioners of Georgia also hosted the exhibit at its annual meeting, held in Savannah in the spring. \nOver 12,000 people have seen Georgia's Historic Courthouses: Celebrating a Living Legacy. Plans are to continue showing the exhibit throughout 2007. \n \nThe 1928 Cherokee County Courthouse, located in Canton, was designed by Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck-Brown. Today it houses county offices. \nGuests enjoy the exhibit at the Georgians for Preservation Action reception in Atlanta. \nHPD staff and visitors attend the exhibit opening at the State Capitol. \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n5 \n \n Georgia Centennial Farms \n \nThe Georgia Centennial Farm program honors farms that have been continuously operating for more than 100 years with three types of awards. \nThe Centennial Heritage Farm Award honors farms owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. \nThe Centennial Farm Award does not require continual family ownership, but farms must be at least 100 years old and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. \nThe Centennial Family Farm Award recognizes farms owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more that are not listed in the National Register of Historic Places. \nThe program is administered by the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) and sponsored by HPD, the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Forestry Commission, the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Georgia National Fair and Agricenter. \n \nIn SFY 2005 Centennial Heritage Farm Awards were presented to: \nBanks: Turk Family Farm Washington: Forest Grove \nCentennial Family Farm Awards were presented to: \nCobb: Mabry Farm Crisp: Grady D.

Rome became a Great American Main Street City in 2003 and was recognized for its preservation efforts when it was designated a Preserve America Community in 2004. \n \nIn 2004, HPD's Underwater Archaeologist Jason Burns conducted an underwater archaeological investigation and training project in Rome. The investigation was looking for underwater \narchaeological features around the confluence of the Coosa, Etowah, and Oostanaula Rivers. During the dives (right), remote sensing \nand hands-on evaluation were used to locate and identify sites. The remains of the Dixie Steamboat \nand two wharfs were located and recorded. \n \nThe Main High School Historic District (left) is a school campus built for Rome's African American students on the north bank of the Etowah River east of downtown Rome. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The nomination's period of significance begins in 1934 when the Main High School building was constructed and continues to 1969 to include the entire period of segregation when the school served as Rome's only public school for African American students. The school was featured in the December 2003 issue of Relections newsletter produced by HPD's African American Programs Coordinator, Jeanne Cyriaque. \n \nBuilt in 1937, the Double-Cola Bottling Company (right) is a two-story International-style building located at 419 East Second Street in Rome. The Double-Cola soft drink company built its first bottling plant in Rome, and Double- \nCola brands were bottled there from 1937 until the 1970s. The building has been rehabilitated as an orthodontist office in 2004, and received approval as a certified rehabilitation project for the purposed of both Tax Incentives programs. \n \n8 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Rome became a Certified Local Government in 1997, which qualified it to receive Historic \nPreservation Fund grants. In SFY \n2003, Rome was given a $12,000 HPFund grant for a restoration plan for the historic Myrtle \nHill Cemetery (right). The \ncemetery, which was laid out in the 1850s, \noverlooks historic downtown Rome. \nIn SFY 2001, Chieftains Museum (right) was awarded a $5000 Georgia Heritage Grant to \nproduce a preservation plan for the museum. Chieftains Museum was the former home of \nprominent early 19th century Cherokee leader Major Ridge and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1973. \nIn October 2002, the museum was certified as a site along the Trail of Tears National \nHistoric Trail by the National Park Service. \n \nBerry College received a SFY 2006 Georgia Heritage Grant for $13,600 to produce a plan to aid in the restoration of the historic Roosevelt Cabin (left) on campus. Constructed in 1902, Roosevelt Cabin is so named because President Theodore Roosevelt visited the College and was served lunch in the cabin in 1910. \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n9 \n \n National Register of Historic Places \n \nThe National Register of Historic Places is our country's official list of historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts worthy of preservation. In addition to recognizing their historical, architectural, or archaeological significance, the National Register helps preserve historic properties through benefits and incentives. \nThe Historic Preservation Division nominates eligible properties to the National Register. Property owners, nonprofit organizations, local governments, and others interested in preserving their historic properties are invited to propose nominations. \nNational Register Coordinator Gretchen Brock 404/651-6782 \ngretchen_brock@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nGeorgia properties listed during SFY 2005: \nBibb: Ellamae Ellis League House, Macon Walter R.

In 1997 a special legislative study committee identified a $5 million per year funding goal. The program's highest funding point was $500,000 in SFY 2002, but amounts have diminished since 9/11. Current levels of funding have been at $129, 000. \n \nTo assist in raising funding levels for this program, the 2005 General Assembly authorized a specialty preservation license plate. Approximately $22 from each $25 tag fee will go to support the Georgia Heritage Grants Program. \n \nHPD's grants coordinator Carole Moore delivered tag promotional materials to the Catoosa County Tax Commissioner, Sandra Kay Self. \n \nThe new plate was designed by Georgia artist Larnie Higgins of Planet Studio in Atlanta. The design was chosen from among 23 entrants and depicts a historic train station located in Savannah. The license plate can be reserved at county tag offices. After 1,000 orders have been received, the plate will be produced by the Georgia Motor Vehicle Division. These numbers must be reached by December 31, 2007, or the plate will not be available. \nHPD, working with the regional preservation planners and the preservation non-profit organizations across the state, is promoting the preservation license plate. Sales from the tag have the potential to make a major impact on the preservation of Georgia's historic places. \n \nThe historic preservation license plate was designed by Georgia artist Larnie Higgins of Planet Studio. \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n13 \n \n Certified Local Governments \nNew Certified Local Governments SFY 2005 - Griffin and Wrens SFY 2006 - Gainesville, Vienna and Waynesboro \n \nThe Certified Local Government (CLG) program assists local governments with integrating historic preservation concerns into local planning decisions. This program is administered by the Historic Preservation Division through a contract with the Center for Community Design \u0026 Preservation at the University of Georgia, School of Environmental Design. Technical and design assistance is provided to all CLGs including: training workshops for preservation commissioners on a local and state-wide level, design assistance for communities and historic property owners, and daily networking opportunities through an everexpanding electronic listserve. \nCertified Local Government Coordinator - \nJennifer Martin Lewis 706/583-8047 \njmlewis@uga.edu \n \nCLG Case Study: Gainesville \nGainesville has been working diligently for the past three years to incorporate historic preservation into its local planning process. While the city has actively pursued revitalization of its downtown square for the past eight years through the Main Street program, the city did not have a preservation ordinance until 2001. Gainesville's first local historic designations occurred in January 2004. Green Street began as a transportation route in the 1830s and is lined on both sides with some of Gainesville's oldest homes with structures dating from the 1880s to the 1930s. Over time, the grand homes stopped serving the needs of modern families and slowly converted to business uses. The area has not changed significantly; however, some trees and structures have been replaced with modern office and government buildings. Local designation was proposed by the Gainesville Historic Preservation Commission in 2003. The Historic Preservation Commission met with property owners, as well as building and preservation experts, to help reach consensus and dispel myths about what local designation meant for Green Street. This group also helped create design guidelines that all agreed would protect the integrity of the historic resources yet allow for appropriate changes. This collaboration has led to not only the eventual designation and protection of Green Street Historic District by City Council, but an appreciation and understanding of the importance of the area by its owners. \nPictured at right: HPD's director, Ray Luce (center) presents Gainesville's CLG certificate. \n \n14 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Historic Preservation Fund Grants \n \nThe City of Augusta/Richmond County received a $13,000 grant to produce design guidelines for the \nOlde Town Historic District, which includes resources dating \nfrom the 18th century. \nSFY 2005 - 6 Historic Preservation Fund Grants representing $64,500: \nCity of Augusta/Richmond County: design guidelines - $13,000 Cobb County: historic resources survey - $15,000 City of Kennesaw: design guidelines - $9,000 City of Thomasville: historic resources survey; 3 National Register nominations - \n$12,600 City of Waynesboro: historic resources survey - $10,100 City of Wrens: historic resources survey - $4,800 \nSFY 2006 - 9 Historic Preservation Fund Grants representing $59,999 \nCity of Ashburn: design guidelines - $7,740 Cobb County: historic resources driving tour brochure - $6,000 City of Cordele: design guidelines - $6,000 City of Douglasville: preservation component for city's comprehensive plan - $8,500 City of Ft.

Historic Preservation Division Technical Services Unit staff make site visits to historic properties and buildings as part of this process. \nDuring a site visit, a property is examined to identify historic characteristics and undergoes a visual condition assessment. Recommendations on appropriate methods for maintaining and repairing the properties are offered. This guidance is based on the Secretary of the Interior`s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. \nAdditionally, long-term preservation planning may be encouraged with suggestions for developing such plans. \n \nArchitectural Reviewer Bill Hover provides on-site assistance to Dudley's mayor, R. Delano Butler. \nWhat types of Architectural Technical Assistance can HPD provide? This varies based on the request. Some inquiries may be handled through a phone conversation, e-mail, or other correspondence. Others may require a meeting or a site visit and inspection of the historic property in question. \nWhat doesn't Architectural Technical Assistance include? It is not a design service. It also is not an information clearinghouse for contracting or consulting services and materials suppliers. \nWho requests Architectural Technical Assistance? Inquiries come from building owners, homeowners, architects, preservation consultants, preservation organizations, local governments, and other government agencies. \nOn what topics do people seek guidance? These include historic windows, plaster, storefronts, architectural ornamentation, structural issues, masonry, lead-based paint, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access, building codes, preservation planning, and many more preservation and rehabilitation subjects. \n \nArchitectural Reviewer - eastern Ga.

During SFY 2005-2006, they made site visits to historic properties in 78 Georgia cities and 64 counties. \n \nHPD's Preservation Architect Caroline Wright speaking on Authentic Buildings and Appropriate Preservation at a Heritage Tourism workshop. \n \n16 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Preservation Tax Incentives \n \nIn Federal Fiscal Year 2004 (Oct. 1, 2003-Sept. 30, 2004) and FFY 2005 (Oct.1, 2004-Sept. 30, 2005) Georgia ranked 5th and 7th, respectively, for the number of approved completed rehabilitation projects eligible for the Federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit. These projects accounted for over $89,000,000 being invested in the preservation of historic properties. \nCase Study: Making Dollars and Sense of Historic Preservation Tax Incentives \nTo address constituent questions concerning financial aspects of rehabilitation projects, HPD held the conference Making Dollars and Sense of Historic Preservation Tax Incentives on September 8-9, 2005 at Georgia State University in Atlanta. The focus was financial structuring and developing successful rehabilitation projects using the three preservation tax incentive programs available to Georgians. Speakers included experts from the Internal Revenue Service, the National Park Service, banking institutions, the development community, and private consultants. \nIn addition to HPD, conference cosponsors included the National Park Service; the Historic Preservation Education Foundation; the Association of Georgia State University Historians; the Heritage Preservation Program, Georgia State University; the Georgia Department of Community Affairs; and Georgia Power. \nOver 100 participants heard experts discuss what is often complex financial information. Response indicated that there was, and continues to be, a need for this material to be made available to individuals and groups rehabilitating historic buildings. \nTax Incentives Coordinator Martha \nMarcille addresses Dollars and Sense Workshop participants. \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division administers federal and state tax incentives programs that encourage the adaptive use of neglected buildings, as well as stimulate economic growth and revitalization of historic neighborhoods and commercial areas. \nThe federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit provides owners of incomeproducing historic structures the opportunity to apply for a federal income tax credit equal to twenty percent of the rehabilitation cost. \nThe Georgia Preferential Property Tax Assessment Program for Rehabilitated Historic Property offers owners of both income-producing and residential historic properties the benefit of applying for an eight-year property tax assessment freeze. \nThe Georgia State Income Tax Credit Program for Rehabilitated Historic Property allows owners who complete a certified rehabilitation of a historic structure a state income tax credit equal to 10%, 15%, or 20% of the rehab cost to a maximum of $5,000 for any single project. \nTax Incentives Coordinator Martha Marcille 404/651-5566 \nmartha_marcille@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n17 \n \n Historic Resources Survey \n \nKnowing about historic properties through surveys is an essential first step in a community's preservation efforts and facilitates wise decisions about preserving individual buildings and neighborhoods. \nHPD's historic resources survey program coordinates the funding of local surveys through federal grants and state contracts with community sponsors. \n \nCase Study: Lumpkin County \nThe historic resources survey program, FindIT!, is a new partnership between the Historic Preservation Division, the Georgia Transmission Corporation, and the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design. The program trains UGA historic preservation graduate students to conduct fieldwork throughout the state, and enter the survey data into the NAHRGIS (Natural Archeological Historic Resource Geographic Information System) database. \n \nDuring the recent survey conducted by the FindIT! fieldcrews \n \nin Lumpkin County, 155 unincorporated historic resources were \n \nidentified, documented, and entered into the FindIT! database. \n \nLumpkin County, which was slated by HPD as a high priority for survey due to development, provided an opportunity for emerging historic preservation professionals to be exposed to different architectural trends in North Georgia. \n \nSeveral general stores and historic houses were documented along Highway 9 in Lumpkin County. \n \nSurvey Coordinator Kenneth Gibbs 404/651-6432 \nkenneth_gibbs@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nHistoric resource surveys completed during SFY 2005: Chattahoochee County Tift County, phase 3 Kingston, Bartow County \n \nHistoric resource surveys completed during SFY 2006: \n \nCartersville, West End Southwest Cobb County Lowndes County, phase 4 Walton County Fulton County, Campbellton Road \ncorridor Jackson County Putnam County, unincorporated Newton County, unincorporated \n \nOconee County Brooks County, unincorporated Meriwether County, unincor- \nporated Morgan County, unincorporated Liberty County, unincorporated Catoosa County, outside Ft. \nOglethorpe Gwinnett County, unincorporated \n \n18 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n African American Programs - GAAHPN \n \nHistoric Preservation Conferences \nIn 2005, the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN) supported the state historic preservation conference by hosting Thomasville Conversations. The opening reception was held at Magnolia Leaf, a 1907 Neo-classical residence in the Dawson Street Historic District that now accommodates business travelers and special events. \nCelebrating Our Coastal Heritage, GAAHPN's 2006 annual meeting, was held in Brunswick. Seventy-four participants attended four educational sessions held at First African Baptist Church, a contributing resource in the Old Town Brunswick Historic District. The field session focused on site visits to the Risley School in Brunswick and the Harrington School on St. Simons Island. \nThe National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) Award \nAt the 2006 NCSHPO annual meeting, HPD received an Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the NCSHPO for establishing the nation's first African American program in a state historic preservation office. HPD's African American program demonstrates the impact of linking volunteerism with dedicated staff support to establish Georgia as a leader in regional and national efforts to preserve African American history and culture. \n \nThe goals of the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN) are to increase awareness of African American heritage and to encourage the preservation of historic resources associated with black history. \nThe Historic Preservation Division African American programs coordinator provides staff support for GAAHPN's volunteer Steering Committee, produces the quarterly newsletter Reflections, and provides technical assistance to persons interested in preserving African American historic resources. \n \nIsaac Johnson, chairman of the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network, Jeanne Cyriaque, African American programs coordinator, and W. Ray Luce, division director, celebrate the award. \n \nAfrican American Programs Coordinator \nJeanne Cyriaque 404/656-4768 \njeanne_cyriaque@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n19 \n \n Environmental Review \n \nCase Study: Old Liberty Jail Rehabilitation, Hinesville \n \nThe environmental review program provides the planning framework for federal and state agencies to take into account the effects of their projects and actions on historic properties and archaeological sites. \nThe Historic Preservation Division assists federal and state agencies and local governments in complying with Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the Georgia Environmental Policy Act and the State Agency Historic Property Stewardship Program. \n \nIn January 2005, the city of Hinesville submitted rehabilitation documentation of the Old Liberty Jail, a National Register-listed property, to HPD for review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. This review was triggered by the involvement of federal funds through the Coastal Incentive Grant program funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and administered by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Resources Division. HPD's review was required to ensure that NOAA and its applicants would consider potential effects to historic properties, specifically whether the proposed work would meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties (Secretary's Standards). \nThe jail was constructed in 1892 and in use until 1970. The rehabilitation of its interior was for adaptive reuse as a museum for the Hinesville Historic Preservation commission, office space for the Hinesville-Fort Stewart Joint Arts Council, and tourist information center for the Historic Liberty Trail. Work involved lead paint removal; repair of steel jail cells, doors and locks; refurbishing of jail cell features (bunks and plumbing fixtures), masonry and plaster repairs, and installation of new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. \n \nEnvironmental Review Coordinator \nElizabeth Shirk 404/651-6624 elizabeth_shirk@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nOur finding based on initial review of the project was that the work proposed appeared to meet the Secretary's Standards, but we conditioned this finding upon receiving plans as they became available. In January 2006, we received additional information from the city that resulted in a finding of \"No Adverse Effect.\" The rehabilitation of the Old Liberty Jail will afford the space needed by these organizations while ensuring the continued use and preservation of a building whose architecture is characteristic of 19th century penal structures found in agricultural communities of the Southeast. \n \n20 Historic Preservation Division \n \n State Stewardship Awards \n \nGeorgia Southwestern State University, Americus \nThe 3rd annual Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation Stewardship were presented on March 29, 2006 in Atlanta. \nGovernor's Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation: \nDr. Dorothy Leland, President, Georgia College \u0026 State University, Milledgeville, for her outstanding leadership in historic preservation campus planning for Georgia College \u0026 State University. \nGovernor's Award for Historic Preservation Stewardship: \nTodd Holbrook, Assistant Division Director, Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division, for his leadership in the development and implementation of the Ossabaw Island Management Plan, which successfully integrated both natural and cultural resources, conservation and education. \nHarry Keim, Vice-President for Business and Finance at Georgia College \u0026 State University, Milledgeville, for his outstanding leadership in preserving and restoring historic structures on the University's campus. \nDr. Michael L.

The Archaeological Services Unit plays an important role in their stewardship through its Archaeology Protection and Education Program. \nThe statewide Archaeology Protection and Education Program is organized around six themes, including DNR service, Section 106 compliance review, cemetery preservation, sponsored research, underwater archaeology, and education. \nArchaeology Unit Coordinator Christine Neal \n404/657-1367 christine_neal@dnr. \nstate.ga.us \n \nProviding services to other DNR divisions is a major duty of HPD's Archaeology Protection and Education Unit, which also houses the Office of the State Archaeologist. This unit conducts between fifty and seventy-five archaeological surveys each year on properties across the state owned or managed by DNR. Conducting these surveys has fostered close relationships between the archaeology staff and Parks and Historic Sites Division, as well as Wildlife Resources and Coastal Resources Divisions, which in turn have created other opportunities. Weekend for Wildlife is a gala weekend in which DNR supporters take part in a variety of trips around the Georgia coast, while at the same time supporting the Non-Game and Endangered Species Program. One of the most popular tours in recent years has been the Archaeological Services Unit's (ASU) one-day field experience, which gives guests an opportunity to participate in an archaeological excavation at one of the showcase sites that the agency manages. \nUnderwater Archaeology \nThe ASU has undertaken a major underwater archaeology survey program working with the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology in the Ogeechee River. The survey goal is to locate and identify Revolutionary and Civil War naval wrecks and ordinance. The South Carolina team brings their years of experience and the necessary equipment to conduct these black water diving operations. DNR has been conducting underwater archaeology remote sensing operations in the Ogeechee River for the past year under a grant from the National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program. Work also continues with the West Georgia Underwater Archaeological Society diving Civil War sites in the Chatahoochee River near West Point. \n \n22 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Sponsored Research \n \nThe ASU oversees a wide range of research on DNR-managed properties. These research projects yield valuable information for interpretive and management purposes, while at the same time helping to educate university students and the public about archaeological resources. A recent project involving limited excavations at Kolomoki Mounds State Historic Park led to the reinterpretation of the site's true place in North American prehistory. This project was carried out in conjunction with an erosion-control initiative at the Great Temple Mound, which has suffered from a combination of foot traffic and several years of drought. Another project, supported by The Ossabaw Island Foundation, has shed new light on the lives of enslaved Africans at North End Plantation. \nEducation \n \nAbove: Hog Hammock residents visit the Chocolate Plantation excavations on Sapelo Island, one of the Archaeological Services Unit's sponsored research projects carried out in conjunction with the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. \nBelow: Volunteers and DNR staff assist in the excavation of a possible Spanish mission site as part of the Georgia Archaeology Education Partnership with Fernbank Museum of Natural History. \n \nThe ASU initiated a new partnership with Fernbank Museum of Natural History in 2005. The Georgia Archaeology Education Partnership focuses on bringing the science of archaeology to Georgia citizens through a variety of programs, including active participation by volunteers in excavations of sites important to the state's history. The inaugural multi-year program featured a search for the lost Spanish mission of Santa Isabel de Utinahica in Telfair County. Participants worked alongside professional archaeologists in their search for evidence of the mission at several 400-year-old archaeological sites near the historic Ocmulgee River. The ASU also furnishes staff support to the Fort Frederica Teacher's Workshop, which trains Glynn County middle school teachers in the basics of archaeological science. The teachers then bring their students to the Fort Frederica for a mock dig as part of their regular curriculum. \n \nBiennial Report SFY 2005-2006 \n \n23 \n \n Sonny Perdue, Governor Noel Holcomb, Commissioner, Department of Natural Resources \u0026 State Historic Preservation Officer \nHistoric Preservation Division Staff \n34 Peachtree Street NW, Suite 1600, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-2316 www.gashpo.org phone: 404-656-2840, fax: 404-651-8739 staff e-mail addresses: firstname_lastname@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nDirector's Office: Ray Luce \nDivision Director \u0026 Deputy SHPO 404/651-5061 Vivian Pugh \nAdministrative Assistant 404/651-5177 \nPlanning \u0026 Local Assistance Unit: Karen Anderson-Cordova \nUnit Manager 404/651-6461 Melina Vasquez Historic Program Assistant 404/651-6452 Michelle Volkema Environmental Review Specialist 404/651-6546 \nvacant Environmental Review Historian \n404/651-6777 Elizabeth Shirk Environmental Review Coordinator 404/651-6624 Amanda Schraner Transportation Projects \nCoordinator 404/463-6687 Dean Baker Architectural Review Officer 404/657-1043 Jeanne Cyriaque African American Programs Coordinator 404/656-4768 \nvacant Community Planning Coordinator \n404/651-5181 Jennifer Martin Lewis Certified Local Government \nCoordinator University of Georgia Founders' Garden House 325 Lumpkin Street Athens, GA 30602 \ntel. 706/583-8047 fax 706/583-0320 e-mail: jmlewis@arches.uga.edu \n \nArchaeological Services Unit: David Crass \nUnit Manager \u0026 State Archaeologist \n404/656-9344 Christine Neal Archaeology Outreach Specialist 404/657-1367 Chris McCabe Deputy State Archaeologist, \nUnderwater 10 Ocean Science Circle \nSavannah, GA 31411 tel. 912/598-3346 fax 912/598-2366 Jennifer Bedell Staff Archaeologist 404/657-1042 Robert Entorf \nReview Archaeologist 404/651-6775 vacant \nReview Archaeologist 404//651-6433 \nTechnical Services Unit: Mary Ann Eaddy Unit Manager 404/651-5283 Ced Dolder \nTax Incentives Specialist 404/651-5567 \nMartha Marcille Tax Incentives Coordinator \n404/651-5566 Carole Moore Grants Coordinator 404/463-8434 Caroline Wright Preservation Architect 404/651-5287 William Hover Architectural Reviewer 404/651-5288 \n \nSurvey \u0026 National Register Unit: Richard Cloues Unit Manager \u0026 Deputy SHPO 404/651-5983 vacant \nSurvey \u0026 Register Specialist 404/651-5911 Kenneth Gibbs \nSurvey Coordinator 404/651-6432 \nGretchen Brock National Register Coordinator \n404/651-6782 Denise Messick National Register Historian 404/651-6033 Steven Moffson Architectural Historian 404/651-5906 \nvacant Historian 404/651-5568 \nManagement \u0026 Information Unit: \nJane Cassady Unit Manager 404/651-5180 \nvacant Information Specialist \n404/651-5176 Nichole Collins Administrative Operations \nCoordinator 404/651-5178 Lois Johnson Budget Coordinator 404/651-5185 Jim Lockhart Photographer/ Computer Coordinator 404/651-6778 Helen Talley-McRae Public Information Coordinator 404/651-5268 \n \n "},{"id":"dlg_ggpd_y-ga-bn200-ph5-ba15-b2003-h2004-belec-p-btext","title":"2003-2004 biennial report [June 2004]","collection_id":"dlg_ggpd","collection_title":"Georgia Government Publications","dcterms_contributor":["Georgia.

American flags in windows and cars, over buildings and along roadsides, have not been seen in such abundance since World War II. This outpouring of patriotism is in response to the tragedy of 9-11 and draws both from the tragedy of lost lives and from the direct attacks on symbols of our culture. Indeed, symbols have become the cornerstone of the counterattack against the terrorist atrocities. Symbols are protesting the attack on symbols. \nPreservationists play an important role in preserving the authentic and tangible symbols of our heritage. Historic places, such as a national park, a prehistoric mound, or a revitalized downtown neighborhood become symbols themselves. Most of these places are preserved because people care and have made considerable efforts over the years to protect them. \nAmerican Indian tribal preservation officers have organized into a group called \"The Keepers of the Treasures.\" This term could be applied to all who seek to save the physical embodiments of our history. These are treasures not necessarily in a monetary sense -- although they are the key to economic development all over America -- but as the authentic places where history occurred. Through these sites we can learn that those who came before us also endured struggles and hardship, but as a nation, we have survived. \nUnderstanding these lessons is particularly important as society changes. There was a time when these lessons were passed from generation to generation as we worked together. Georgia's population continues to grow. The 2000 census found that the majority of Atlanta's residents were not born there. Rootlessness creates a present-mindedness that ignores our collective heritage. \nWe must continue to preserve our heritage not as nostalgia, or the desire to return to a seemingly simpler life, but to ensure that authentic places survive. In so doing, we can continue to understand that we are part of a larger heritage that we can learn much from. \n \n4 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Historic Preservation Planning \n \nNew and Continuing Partnerships \n \nRegional Development Centers (RDCs)  The Historic Preservation Division (HPD) partially funds fourteen historic preservation planner positions across Georgia. HPD's Community Planning Coordinator works closely with the RDC historic preservation planners to develop yearly scopes of services that address each region's preservation needs. \nIn SFY2002, the South Georgia RDC's historic preservation planner began a survey project to identify all of the region's historic school buildings. Fitzgerald High School was built in 1909. \nThe Georgia Trust's new Living Places, Building Better Neighborhoods program partners neighborhood organizations with preservation professionals to develop plans to revitalize historic neighborhoods throughout the state. \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division's (HPD) Historic Preservation Planning program is committed to ensuring that Georgia's historic resources are promoted and included in planning activities throughout the state. \nHPD's preservation planning activities include:  assisting Regional Development \nCenters and federal, state and local governments with implementation of planning legislation  identifying trends that effect historic resources and developing initiatives in response  coordinating with other agencies and organizations that effect historic resources \n \nHPD works closedly with several Georgia Department of Community Affairs programs including: Main Street, Better Hometown and the Office of Downtown Development. \n \nAtlanta Regional Commission's (ARC) Georgia Quality Growth Partnership is a coalition that addresses the effects of sprawl and promotes smart growth. In SFY2002, HPD began working with the ARC and The Georgia Trust to develop an information \"tool kit\" on historic preservation and smart growth. \n \nCommunity Planning Coordinator Lee Webb \n404/651-6452 lee_webb@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n5 \n \n GAAHPN \n \nActivities and Projects \n \nThe goals of the Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network (GAAHPN) are to increase awareness of African American heritage and to encourage the preservation of historic resources associated with black history. \nThe Historic Preservation Division's African American programs coordinator provides staff support for GAAHPN's volunteer Steering Committee, produces the quarterly newsletter Reflections, and provides technical assistance to persons interested in preserving African American historic resources. \n \nSFY2001:  Developed the quarterly newsletter Reflections, a publication designed to recognize the contributions of African Americans to Georgia's cultural and historic resources. The publication is provided to Georgia African American Historic Preservation Network members and Historic Preservation Division (HPD) partners. \n Hosted the third annual conference of the Southeast Regional African American Preservation Alliance in Augusta. \n Participated in African Reflections on the American Landscape, a National Park Service (NPS) conference. GAAHPN assisted NPS staff in organizing tours of historic African American resources in Atlanta including the Atlanta University Center, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and The Herndon Home. \nIn May 1981, the Thomas Jefferson Elder High and Industrial School was the first Georgia Rosenwald \nschool listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Washington County Elderites, Inc. were honored \nwith a 2001 Preservation Award by The Georgia Trust. \n \nSFY2002:  Compiled an inventory of Georgia's Rosenwald schools. Collaborated with the southern office of National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) to form the Rosenwald Initiative, a program designed to provide information and raise awareness of these endangered historic resources. \n \nAfrican American Programs Coordinator - Jeanne Cyriaque \n404/656-4768 jeanne_cyriaque@dnr.state.ga.us \n \n Recruited rural participants and provided programmatic support for Your Town, a design workshop in Plains sponsored by the University of Georgia School of Environmental Design, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the NTHP. \n Presented information at workshops, dedication ceremonies, a statewide meeting on St. Simons Island and conferences to increase membership in GAAHPN to over 1,000 people. \n \n6 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Information \u0026 Education \n \nCase Study: 2002 State Preservation Conference in Macon \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division and The Georgia Trust co-sponsored the statewide preservation conference, February 28 and March 1 in Macon, along with Macon Heritage Foundation and the Urban Land Institute. Entitled, \"Georgia Communities at the Crossroads: Growth Strategies and Solutions,\" the conference attracted a record-number 355 preservationists, archaeologists, planners and smart growth advocates. Three national experts on smart growth, economics and housing addressed the plenary sessions. Fifteen workshops and tours featured presentations on community planning, farmland, archaeology, downtowns, neighborhoods, historic schools, intown greenspace and transportation. The conference highlighted the role that historic preservation plays in smart growth, by recycling historic properties, landscapes and infrastructure; by encouraging livable and walkable commercial and residential neighborhoods, by providing affordable housing, and by preserving historic buildings and archaeological sites maintaining sense of place and commitment to heritage. \nBroad Street (below) in historic downtown Macon. \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division's (HPD) Information and Education program works to heighten the general public's awareness of historic preservation and to maintain regular communication with the statewide preservation network. These goals are achieved through information available on HPD's Web site; the distribution of publications, press releases and a weekly electronic newsletter; and by sponsoring workshops and conferences. \nThe Information and Education program works closely with other groups across the state to promote heritage tourism and heritage education projects. \n \nRichard Moe, (above right) president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, addressed the opening session at the Douglass Theatre. \n \nCommunications Coordinator Helen Talley-McRae 404/651-5268 \nhelen_talley-mcrae@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n7 \n \n Environmental Review \n \nCase Study: The Tybee Island Light Station Head Keeper's Cottage \n \nThe environmental review program provides the planning framework for federal and state agencies to take into account the effects of their projects and actions on historic properties and archaeological sites. \nThe Historic Preservation Division assists federal and state agencies and local governments in complying with Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the Georgia Environmental Policy Act and the State Agency Historic Property Stewardship Program. \nEnvironmental Review Coordinator - Serena Bellew \n404/651-6624 serena_bellew@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nUnder a Programmatic Agreement with the Federal Highway Administration and Georgia Department of Transportation, the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) continues to play a key role in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) program. HPD staff review project documents, plans, and reports; conduct site visits; and provide technical assistance related to compliance with provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Georgia is one of the national leaders in implementing the TEA-21 program. It ranks highly in both the percentage of allocated funds expended and in the percentage of projects ready for contract. \nThe restoration of the Tybee Island Light Station Head Keeper's Cottage is an example of how TEA-21 funds are being used to preserve Georgia's transportation history. The Federal Highway Administration, through the TEA-21 program, provided $150,000 for the project with $300,000 matching funds provided by the project sponsor, the Tybee Island Historical Society. \nThe research and preservation methods employed by Tybee Island Historical Society director Cullen Chambers and project architect Dan Snyder to restore the house are exemplary and should serve as a model to historic preservationists throughout the state of Georgia. Upon completion, the circa 1881 cottage will serve as a house museum interpreting the life and role of the head light-keeper in the early 20th century. The museum was opened to the public on April 1, 2002. \n \n8 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Historic Resources Survey \n \nCase Study: Effingham County \n \nThe Effingham County Board of Commissioners sponsored a two-year survey of historic buildings, hoping to use the sur- \n \nvey information in their planning activities. The previous survey, \n \ndone in 1975, produced 179 properties, but using current guide- \n \nlines the 1997-1999 survey documented 813. The 42 buildings \n \nfrom the earlier survey that were not resurveyed were presumed \n \ndestroyed in the years between the surveys, giving an attrition \n \nrate of 23%, about average in Georgia. \n \nSurprisingly, considering the age of Effingham County, \n \nthe construction dates for the county's historic buildings reflect \n \nalmost exactly those in the rest of the state: 5% built 1800-1859, \n \n23% built 1860-1899, 65% built 1900-1939, and 14% built \n \n1940-1989. Although synthetic siding is more prevalent in \n \nEffingham County than statewide \n \n(26% as opposed to 9%), many \n \nmore historic resources in the \n \ncounty are individually eligible \n \nfor the National Register (78%) \n \nthan are eligible statewide (54%). \n \nThe two most popular house types \n \nby far in the county are Georgian \n \ncottages (21%), one-story houses \n \nthat are two rooms deep with central hallways, and bungalows (28%). \n \nMasonic Lodge and Woman's Club: This 1948 community building in Guyton has an unusual combination of two distinct functions. \n \nKnowing about historic resources through surveys is an essential first step in a community's preservation efforts and facilitates wise decisions about preserving individual buildings and neighborhoods. \nThe Historic Preservation Division (HPD) coordinates Georgia's Historic Resources Survey which collects and records information about extant historic structures on a countywide or communitywide basis including:  architectural descriptions  age, history, setting and \nlocation  photographs of buildings  topographical maps keyed \nto the buildings  reports analyzing the \nsurvey results and evaluating the significance of the surveyed properties \n \nThe following surveys were completed during: \nSFY2001 - Bryan County, Douglasville, Effingham County (phase 2) and Rome (phase 2). \n \nSFY2002 - Greensboro, Hancock County, Heard County, Jeffersonville, Kennesaw, Lavonia, Lowndes County (phase 1), Rome (phase 3), Savannah National Historic Landmark district, Seminole County, St. Marys and Tift County (phases 1 \u0026 2). \n \nSurvey Coordinator Kenneth Gibbs 404/651-6432 \nkenneth_gibbs@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n9 \n \n National Register of Historic Places \n \nThe National Register of Historic Places is our country's official list of historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts worthy of preservation. In addition to recognizing their historical, architectural, or archaeological significance, the National Register helps preserve historic properties through benefits and incentives. \nThe Historic Preservation Division nominates eligible properties to the National Register.

A new multi-phase survey, sponsored by Valdosta Heritage Foundation, began in 2000. \n \nThe Crescent (above), a Neoclassical style house built circa 1900, became the county's first National Register listing in 1980. Brookwood North, an early 20th century streetcar suburb, was listed as a National Register historic district in 1995. This two-story Colonial Revival style apartment building (above right) was built in 1937. \n \nValdosta became a Certified Local Government in 1985, which qualified it to receive grants from the Heritage Preservation Fund. The Dosta Theater (above) received a development grant in 1994. In 1997, Valdosta received grants for design guidelines and a rehabilitation workshop. \n \n12 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n The Zipperer Farm, located four miles southwest of Valdosta, was honored as a Centennial Family Farm in 1997. The Dees family (at left) obtained the land in the 1823 land lottery. \n \nThis building (above) at 105-111 West Central Avenue received final approval as a certified rehabilitation project for the purposes of both tax incentives programs in 2000. Constructed in 1906, it is now used for retail space on the first floor and residential on the upper floors. \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \nBuilt in 1845, Roberts House (above) is known as the oldest house in Valdosta. The Roberts family owned the house for 100 years and donated it to the Valdosta Heritage Foundation (VHF) to ensure its restoration. VHF received Georgia Heritage Grants in SFYs 2000 and 2001. After stabilization work is complete, Roberts House will be open to the public for tours and social events. \nDasher High School was built in 1929 as Valdosta's third public high school for blacks. Now serving as a community center, it will be included in the school survey currently being conducted by the South Georgia Regional Development Center's historic preservation planner. \n13 \n \n Archaeology Protection \u0026 Education \n \nState Stewardship at Resaca Battlefield \n \nGeorgia has been inhabited for over 12,000 years and has some of the most important archaeological sites in the country. Archaeology provides the only means to learn about the lives of most of these people. \nThe Archaeological Services Unit within the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) helps ensure proper management and protection of state-owned archaeological resources by directing research and surveying sites, training state land managers and law enforcement personnel and assisting with comprehensive planning. HPD also offers archaeological technical assistance and educational materials to individual citizens, local governments, and other organizations. \nArchaeology Outreach Specialist - Christine Van Voorhies 404/657-1367 \nchristine_van_voorhies@dnr. state.ga.us \n \nThe Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages properties that include some of the most important reported archaeological sites in Georgia. The ongoing planning for Resaca Battlefield in Gordon County illustrates the vital role HPD's Archaeological Services Unit plays in the stewardship of stateowned land. The property includes trenches, rifle pits, artillery emplacements and other features. Using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, Geographic Information Systems, and working with Georgia Tech, HPD archaeologists were able to accurately map every visible surface feature on the battle site. Artifacts found during the investigation help tell the story of troop movements across the battlefield. GPS and archaeological surveys will help park managers avoid impacts to intact areas of the site and provide material for interpretive programming that will include the negative impact of site looting. \nAnti-Looting Legislation \nLooting of archaeological sites destroys their integrity and, in some cases, their scientific and historical value. The advent of Web-based auction sites has turned a serious resource management issue into a critical problem. With Indian spear points fetching $4,000 and Revolutionary War-related artifacts commanding prices up to $10,000, artifact looting has become endemic across the southeast. While some looting is carried out by people who do not understand the destructiveness of their actions, much looting is done by individuals who take artifacts from private property without the owner's consent and sell them to finance other crimes, especially drug purchases and manufacture. Thus, looting destroys our past and fuels other violations. Believing that often the best stewards of resources are educated private landowners, HPD and DNR Law Enforcement personnel developed enhancements to existing Georgia state law that give property owners an additional tool with which to safeguard sites on their land. \n \n14 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Education Programming on Ossabaw Island \n \nThe best way to conserve archaeological sites is with citizen education programs. A good example is Nature's Adventure at Ossabaw Island, offered by the Boy Scouts under a cooperative agreement with DNR and the Ossabaw Foundation. During the nine-day campout in June 2002, DNR naturalists, scientists, archaeologists and historians provided information and conducted land and water ecological tours. Scouts helped archaeologists lay out grid lines using compass and tape, map points using GPS, dig shovel tests and excavate what may be a slave cabin site. Scouts were amazed to find that people had been using the spot for 4000 years where they saw no indication on the surface. Through archaeology, the participants now have a better understanding of how people have related to the coastal environment over time. \nUnderwater Archaeology \n \nVolunteers and professionals (above) working together at a historic mill site in Greene County \n \nGeorgia, unlike our neighboring coastal states, has no underwater archaeology program. In fact, with the exception of limited studies conducted under federal mandate, Georgia has never carried out a survey to discover what resources lie in our waters. However, we know enough from neighboring states' findings that our archaeological heritage includes submerged Indian canoes thousands of years old, Revolutionary War coastal shipwrecks and abandoned towns under our reservoirs. Such resources have the potential to tell us about a little-documented aspect of Georgia's past and serve as eco-tourism attractions. \nHPD has begun developing a plan to manage these valuable resources. A study of successful programs in other states has been conducted to provide Georgia with a basis for resource management recommendations. HPD received a U. S. Navy Legacy Grant to develop a management plan for Navy-owned shipwrecks. Simultaneously, a survey of extant documentary resources has been commissioned to learn as much as possible from written records. With these studies in place, Georgia will be in a strong position to move forward with an efficient underwater archaeology survey. \n \nGeorgia has a great variety of underwater archaeological resources, including this intact pier from a bridge (above) built by former slave Horace King in 1838 (Troup County). \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n15 \n \n Certified Local Governments \n \nCase Study: Covington \n \nThe Certified Local Government (CLG) program assists local governments with integrating historic preservation concerns into local planning decisions. \nThis program is administered by the Historic Preservation Division through a contract with the Public Service and Outreach office at the University of Georgia, School of Environmental Design. Technical and design assistance is provided to all CLGs including: presentations for preservation commissions, neighborhood associations, elected officials, and community groups; design guidelines workshops; and historic preservation commission training. \nCertified Local Government Coordinator - Christine Laughlin \n706/583-8047 laughlin@arches.uga.edu \n \nResidents of Covington in Newton County have taken their future into their own hands. For nine days, September 20 through 28, 2000, the city participated in a design charrette lead by Andrs Duany of Duany Plater-Zyberk \u0026 Company (DPZ). The result of the charrette was a master plan for downtown Covington, a vision for how the city might grow. \nThis master plan includes plans for two new traditional neighborhood developments and a new transit-oriented development. The goal of the new neighborhoods is to incorporate the historic character of the town into new development. Plans for the developments include mixed-use spaces, green space, and a bikeway. The innovative plans allow for mixed uses from single and multi-family residences to retail, civic, and office space. These new neighborhoods will better reflect the community's ideas about what makes Covington a good place to live and work than typical sprawl-type developments. \nThe charrette was a cooperative effort of DPZ, residents and officials of the city, developers, and the Arnold Foundation, a local philanthropic organization. One overarching theme characterized the charrette: to work together and plan for Covington's future before it's too late. Covington has not been spared the effects of sprawl, but residents see hope for the city's future. By implementing the DPZ plan along with innovative codes \nand ordinances, the city New Certified Local Governments can preserve its unique \ncharacter and quality of SFY2001 - Brunswick and Covington life while accommodating SFY2002 - Cartersville, Douglasville, growth. \nLaGrange, Sparta-Hancock County and Taylor County \n \n16 \n \nHistoric Preservation Division \n \n Preservation Tax Incentives \n \nCase Study: Crane and Cherokee Cottages, Jekyll Island \n \nCrane and Cherokee Cottages, located on Jekyll Island, underwent substantial rehabilitations and successfully participated in both the federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit and the state Preferential Property Tax Assessment programs. The total amount invested was over $5,000,000. The rehabilitation projects began in March 2000 and received final certification in August 2001. \nThe cottages are contributing resources within the Jekyll Island Historic District, which was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as the Jekyll Island Club in 1972 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The Jekyll Island Club was established in 1886 by a group of the country's wealthiest men who purchased the island with the intention of creating a private haven to escape the pressures of business. Its heyday was from 1919 to 1927. \nCherokee Cottage (right) was built in 1904. It was designed by an unknown architect in a simple Italian Renaissance style. \nCrane Cottage (left) was constructed in 1917. Chicago architect, David Adler, designed the house in an eclectic style with Spanish influences. \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division administers federal and state tax incentives programs that encourage the adaptive use of neglected buildings, as well as stimulate economic growth and revitalization of historic neighborhoods and commercial areas. \nThe federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit provides owners of incomeproducing historic structures the opportunity to apply for a federal income tax credit equal to twenty percent of the rehabilitation cost. \nThe state Preferential Property Tax Assessment program offers owners of both income-producing and residential historic properties the benefit of applying for an eight-year property tax assessment freeze. Technical assistance is available to ensure compliance with federal and state rehabilitation standards. \n \nIn Federal Fiscal Year 2001 (October 1, 2000  September 30, 2001) Georgia was ranked second nationally in the number of approved project proposals and completed rehabilitations certified by the National Park Service. This activity generated over $66,000,000 in revenue. Georgia consistently ranks among the top five states in totals for certified rehabilitation projects. \n \nTax Incentives Coordinator Martha Gravely 404/651-5566 \nmartha_gravely@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n17 \n \n Georgia Heritage Grants \n \nThe Historic Preservation Division administers the Georgia Heritage Grant Program which offers matching grants on a statewide competitive basis to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the preservation of historic resources listed in the National and Georgia Registers of Historic Places. \nDevelopment projects include stabilization and rehabilitation activities, and predevelopment projects include the production of plans, construction documents and specifications. \nGrants Coordinator Cherie Bennett \n404/651-5181 cherie_bennett@dnr.state.ga.us \n \nGeorgia Heritage Grant recipients for SFY2001: \nAppling: Bank of Surrency, Surrency - $5,000 Berrien: Alapaha School, Alapaha - $37,000 Bibb: Alexander II Elementary School, Macon - $10,500; Cannonball House, \nMacon - $1,200 Chatham: West Broad Street YMCA Building, Savannah - $7,000 Chattooga: Riegel Hospital, Trion - $1,800 Coweta: Grantville Auditorium, Grantville - $20,000 Dodge: Eastman Bus Station, Eastman - $5,000 Floyd: Chieftains Museum, Rome - $5,000 Fulton: Herndon Home, Atlanta - $14,000 Hall: Gillsville Commercial Buildings, Gillsville - $35,000 Harris: Mountain Hill District Consolidated School, Fortson - $10,000 Jasper: Jasper County Community Center, Monticello - $10,000 Laurens: Captain Hardy Smith House, Dublin - $5,000 Lowndes: Roberts House, Valdosta - $10,000 Polk: Hawkes Children's Library, Cedartown - $23,000 Rabun: The Mary Hambidge House, Rabun Gap - $10,000 Randolph: Randolph County Courthouse, Cuthbert - $28,000 Thomas: Thomas County Courthouse, Thomasville - $7,500 Treutlen: Treutlen County Courthouse, Soperton - $2,000 Troup: Royal Theater, Hogansville - $16,000; West Point Public School, \nWest Point - $20,000 Turner: Turner County Jail, Ashburn - $5,000 Warren: Warrenton Gymnasium and Auditorium, Warrenton - $17,000 Wilcox: Wilcox County Courthouse, Abbeville - $2,000 \nGeorgia Heritage Grant recipients for SFY2002: \nAppling: Bank of Surrency, Surrency - $5,000 Candler: Candler County Jail, Metter - $5,500 Chatham: Fort Jackson, Savannah - $16,500; Fort Screven Guard House, \nTybee Island - $10,000 Cobb: Cowen Farmstead, Acworth - $4,500 Coweta: Moreland Knitting Mill Mercantile Building, Moreland - $9,000 Dodge: Eastman Bus Station, Eastman - $4,500 Evans: George W.

Historic places will be widely valued as irreplaceable resources that contribute to our heritage, our economy, our neighborhoods, and our sense of who we are as Georgians. Communities and the State will plan for growth and change that respect and include our historic places. Communities will possess the knowledge, the legal and financial tools, and the authority to decide how preservation and new development will relate to one another. There will still be distinctions between city and suburbs, developing areas and countryside. All Georgians will possess a greater understanding and appreciation of our shared heritage in all its variations. People and organizations throughout Georgia will work in partnership to preserve and use historic places. Georgia's communities, economy and environment will be better because of the preservation of historic resources. \n \nBiennial Report 2001-2002 \n \n23 \n \n www.gashpo.org \n156 Trinity Avenue SW Suite 101 Atlanta, Georgia 30303-3600 \n \n "}],"pages":{"current_page":1,"next_page":null,"prev_page":null,"total_pages":1,"limit_value":10,"offset_value":0,"total_count":3,"first_page?":true,"last_page?":true},"facets":[{"name":"type_facet","items":[{"value":"Text","hits":3}],"options":{"sort":"count","limit":16,"offset":0,"prefix":null}},{"name":"creator_facet","items":[{"value":"Georgia.
