RG134-05-07Description
The South Carolina Appalachian Council of Governments (ACOG) has played a key role in historic preservation since 1970, beginning with a regional inventory of historic places and later developing a comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan. ACOG collaborates with local historical societies to research, prioritize, and preserve regional heritage through planning, education, tourism, and restoration projects. Haithcock emphasizes that preservation enhances community identity, offering cultural, economic, and political value. He advocates for strong leadership, impact projects, collaboration with state and national organizations, and strategic planning to integrate historic preservation into the everyday life and future vision of communities.Collection
