PAF and the Philadelphia Historic Preservation Task Force

City of Philadelphia Mayor Kenney created a historic preservation task force to help the City reassess how Philadelphia preserves its historic resources. The task force explored strategies and make recommendations regarding:

• Surveying historic resources
• Incentivizing preservation
• Regulating for preservation outcomes
• Education

The task force included experts in historic preservation, development, archaeology, land use and architecture. It also includes community members to ensure that our neighborhoods were represented. Philadelphia Archaeological Forum President Douglas Mooney was appointed to this Task Force
