Preservation for a changing Colorado

Introduction

Great preservation work is happening every day all across Colorado. This site illustrates how historic preservation is making significant contributions to our state and local economies, from higher tax revenue, to jobs created, to more household income, to increased tourist spending. And preservation will continue playing an important role over the next 50 years, helping local communities adapt to trends that will bring significant changes to Colorado.
