The Oregon SHPO was established in 1967 to manage and administer programs for the protection of the state's historic and cultural resources. When these resources disappear, communities not only can lose the tangible and educational assets that contribute directly to Oregon's heritage, opportunities for local economic development can also be lost.
SHPO's program coordinators and representatives are here to assist city planners and other officials, property owners and preservation groups in finding forward-thinking solutions to better protect and preserve our past.
