| dc.description.abstract | As the ideas of sustainability, downtown revitalization and smart growth have grown from buzzwords to implemented concepts, preservation and rehabilitation have been vital for these movements to achieve successful results; and it is no surprise that communities that maintain a sense of place do so with the help of preserving historic properties. While the benefit of historic preservation are increasingly evident, to historic building owners and developers who are inexperienced in historic redevelopments, the rehabilitation process can be daunting and confusing, requiring substantial knowledge of preservation and business practices. Even for those who have rehab experience, there always seems to be something more to learn! Although historic rehabilitations are not without their complications, challenges, and obstacles, many real or perceived barriers can be overcome or successfully mitigated when the right tool and information are available. Knowing the challenges, incentives and tools for the rehabilitation process is essential. This guide is an informative resource of rehabilitation tools and strategy demonstrated by a compilation of Portland area historic commercial redevelopments. It explains national, state and local area rehabilitation tools providing preservationists, businesses, nonprofits and neighborhood organizations in the Portland area easy access to valuable redevelopment information and ideas to inform and inspire future projects. | en_US |
