How does Scottsdale manage the local historic preservation program and implement local ordinance regulations for historic properties and archaeology?
City Council appointed the Historic Preservation Commission in 1997 to develop and oversee the overall Scottsdale historic preservation program. The Commission works with the staff in the city’s Preservation Division and the city’s Historic Preservation Officer to manage the program. The city partners with the Scottsdale Historical Society and other private organizations or citizens groups on some historic preservation activities.
