Preservation Advocacy
The policy of the HPLO is to advocate for historic preservation in a constructive (not obstructive) manner, addressing underlying issues that threaten communities’ historic fabric such as zoning, economic incentives, or simple lack of awareness. Our goal is to bring forward issues in a way that facilitates solutions, not merely to be purveyors of “No.”
In addition to spotlighting challenges and solutions through our website, online forums, and newsletter, we work to directly educate policy makers on the cultural, economic, and environmental benefits of preservation.
Serving as the “hub” of a league of preservation organizations (private and public) across the state, the HPLO supports local efforts of our League members. We also actively support the Oregon Main Street program to preserve and economically revitalize historic downtowns.
The HPLO Advocacy Committee is always looking for interested volunteers with a background in preservation, land use, planning, or sustainability.

The HPLO was instrumental in saving Crater Lake Lodge, now visited by 400,000 people annually.
The Preservation Roundtable
A key initiative of the Advocacy Committee is the Preservation Roundtable.
It's designed to bring together various perspectives and skill sets to tackle some
of the thornier preservation challenges. Each year the Roundtable addresses a
different topic, convening across the state to gain consensus among diverse stakeholders..
