Project Goals
In January 2023, CPG began working with the City of Richmond to develop its first city-wide Cultural Resources Stewardship Plan.
Project Design
The project consists of 2 Phases, with Phase I concluding in the Summer of 2023.
Phase I focused largely on stakeholder engagement, relationship building with community leaders, and gathering input on the city’s existing preservation challenges and opportunities through one-on-one and small group interviews. These results formed the recommendations for the project trajectory in Phase II.
Challenges & Accomplishments
Phase II will see larger-scale community engagement efforts and content development, which is currently underway.
An Advisory Committee was created to help guide the Plan’s draft development and ultimate completion. The Advisory Committee is comprised of preservation professionals who were appointed by project partners and invested community members who were selected through an application process.
