The Equity-Based Preservation Plan has been adopted! Visit the Progress Dashboard to read the Plan and explore how we're implementing it.

The Plan replaces Austin’s 1981 historic preservation plan with an inclusive, community-oriented process and outcome. It was created by a community working group and adopted by City Council on November 21, 2024. The Plan has been nationally recognized with a Public Outreach/Advocacy Award from the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC). At a celebration for community contributors, a Council proclamation designated February 12, 2025 as Equity-Based Preservation Plan Day in Austin.
