HPMP Update: Process, Scope, & Timeline

Arlington County is working with a team of consultants to prepare the first official update to its Historic Preservation Master Plan (HPMP) and conduct community engagement around this project.

Broadly, the update process will entail:

1.  A detailed analysis of the existing HPMP;
2.  A thorough examination of the historic preservation planning efforts, successes, and challenges since the plan’s 2006 adoption; and
3.  Targeted outreach to stakeholder groups and the general community.

Research, fieldwork, and community engagement will yield a written report that analyzes Arlington County’s historic preservation successes achieved since the original HPMP and identifies any shortcomings, unfulfilled goals, or new opportunities. That analysis will inform new and/or revised historic preservation goals and recommendations for their implementation.

The HPMP update will address eight major plan elements, plus other key considerations. Learn more in the project scope.
