By examining these various resource types and the programmatic approaches to their management, this presentation aims to aid in development of effective planning strategies. It would be applicable to transportation planners, preservation planners, county governments, local governments, and consultants who deal with transportation or infrastructure planning, including Section 106 consultants.
