Certified Local Governments (CLG) are municipalities that have demonstrated, through a certification process, a commitment to local preservation and saving the past for future generations. This commitment is key to America’s ability to preserve, protect, and increase awareness of our unique cultural heritage found in the built environment across the country. The CLG program was federally mandated as part of an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and is administered by the National Park Service. More information about CLGs is available here.
The Historic Preservation Advisory Board has been tasked with identifying, documenting, and preserving historic resources in Otero County. This includes assisting residents and organizations with nominating historic resources to the City of La Junta Register of Historic Resources, the Colorado State Register of Historic Resources, and the National Register. The Preservation Board also provides information concerning preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and reuse of historic resources; and assists with preservation projects, including technical assistance and suggestions of possible funding sources.
Partnership between Local, State and Federal governments provides the opportunity to help preserve, protect, and increase awareness of our unique cultural heritage, helping communities save their irreplaceable historic resources.
