DOCUMENT
Documentation is the first step to a successful historic rehabilitation project and involves careful attention to detail. Whether for one building or an entire district, surveys can be an excellent pro-active planning tool. They help prioritize landmark designation and funding, apply for grants, and identify areas where historic preservation and community revitalization can be combined. Hone Strategic offers:
- Historic Property Research
