It's time. Athens-Clarke County desperately needs a county-wide Historic Preservation Master Plan. 

Sign this petition to signal your support for an Athens-Clarke County county-wide needs assessment of historic resources, protections, design guidelines, zoning, and preservation procedures.

Athens has developed master plans for several key topics in the past. Here is a page dedicated to just a few of those plans. Here is the page for the Downtown Athens master plan. Here is information on our Pedestrian & Bike Master Plan.

A county-wide needs assessment would allow us to protect our historic resources and unique character, prioritize the preservation of important and endangered places, and ensure that preservation unfolds in a sensible and strategic way that observes proper preservation practices.

The results of this petition will be presented to the Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission. Please help us save local history by signing today!
