Colorado's historic resources contribute significantly to the economic, environmental, social, and aesthetic value of the state. From an economic perspective, historic preservation activities boost local and state economies by creating jobs, revitalizing residential and commercial areas, leveraging private capital, and stimulating a wide range of related economic opportunities. But the value of historic preservation is not just economic. Historic preservation can also support long-term community sustainability and resilience through the conservation of resources, stewardship of the natural environment, and preservation of culture and heritage.
