CITY'S PRESERVATION PLAN
In 2015 the City of Salem commissioned a new Preservation Plan for the city. Preservation is a work that is never complete and the Plan recommends a variety of actions that should be implemented in order for the city to protect and promote its historic resources. Of the many recommendations, Historic Salem finds these to be the most important:
- Capital repairs and scheduled maintenance to City-owned properties
- Expansion of legal protections
- Permitting process that protects history
- Planning that promotes complementary design and uses
