Michigan Statewide Historic Preservation Plan 2027-2034
It shall be the responsibility of the State Historic Preservation Officer to prepare and implement a comprehensive statewide historic preservation plan.
The Michigan State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is kicking off the process to develop the next Statewide Historic Preservation Plan, which will cover the period 2027-2034. This is YOUR plan, intended to help guide both the SHPO and preservation partners statewide in making meaningful progress toward preservation goals over the next eight years.
West Michigan Public Workshop
What do you think about historic preservation opportunities in Michigan? What threats do historic places face, and where can historic preservation champions focus their attention and resources? A series of regional public workshops will take place across Michigan during summer 2025 to allow citizens an opportunity to offer their ideas and input. We invite you to join us in Grand Rapids on Thursday, June 26 at the historic St. Cecilia Music Center for the West Michigan Public Workshop.
Registration is optional but will help us plan refreshments. Walk in participation is also welcome. Click the link for workshop details and to register.
Take our Survey! Through June 30, 2025, the SHPO is seeking individuals from across the state to take our brief (10-12 minute) survey about historic preservation initiatives in Michigan. Citizens from all backgrounds and knowledge levels of preservation are invited to take the survey. Click the link in the blue banner below to get started!
Public participation is key to the success of the plan, and we want your help. Learn more about the planning process and how the public will be able to contribute in 2025:

The creation of a long-term statewide historic preservation plan is a federal requirement for each state's historic preservation office. The next statewide plan will outline broad preservation priorities and goals to be used by all preservation-related entities for this eight year time period. The staff of the SHPO is constantly assessing the opportunities and threats facing historic preservation in Michigan and looking for ways to address them.
Explore Michigan's 2020-2025 Statewide Historic Preservation Plan! The plan outlines broad preservation priorities and goals for this five year time period. The plan text was approved by the National Park Service in August, 2020. This plan is informed by public input and stakeholder feedback obtained throughout 2019 at regional workshops across the state.
