Discussing Preservation with Florida’s SHPO
In this episode, Alissa Lotane, Director of the Division of Historical Resources and Florida’s State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) joins us to discuss how the Department of State helps to direct historic preservation efforts throughout the state.
In cooperation with state and federal agencies, local governments, private organizations, and individuals, the Division of Historical Resources protects and promotes Florida’s historical and archaeological resources, helps to preserve and maintain Florida’s historic buildings and archaeological sites, and coordinates outreach programs such as the State Historical Markers program and the Florida Main Street program.
