Historic Preservation: Value Added

Historic preservation. Stately Victorian houses. Gazebos on the downtown square. Few would argue the
aesthetic benefits of preserving Florida's heritage, but is it worth it, economically?
Yes, to the tune of$4.2 billion annually, says a team of
researchers from the Center for Governmental Responsibility at
the University of Florida and the Center for Urban Policy
Research at Rutgers University that recently completed the state's
first comprehensive assessment of the economic impact of historic
preservation.
"The aesthetic and quality-of-life benefits of preservation are
generally acknowledged," the researchers from UF's Levin
College of Law wrote in Economic Impacts of Historic
Preservation in Florida. "However, doubts are often expressed
about the quantifiable economic contribution of preservation."
After more than a year of analyzing data and getting input from Silver Springs
government and community leaders throughout the state, the researchers say those doubts should be erased.
"A conservative estimate of the economic impacts of historic preservation in Florida is $4.2 billion annually," say study
co-authors Timothy McLendon and JoAnn Klein. "Historic preservation produces a wonderful return for the public
money invested and is one of the most efficient ways public funds can be invested. Historic preservation works."
The researchers focused on several key areas relative to historic preservation -heritage tourism, historic rehabilitation ,
assistance programs like the Florida Main Street Program, and property values .
"This report provides striking evidence that Florida's investment in the preservation and protection of historic places and
the legacy of the cultures that created them is paying huge dividends ," says Florida Secretary of State Jim Smith, whose
office commissioned the $75 ,000 study.
Heritage Tourism
For tens of thousands of years, human habitation in Florida had been overlaid -culture upon culture -from prehistoric
times , through the Spanish and British colonial periods and into statehood. But the wave of new residents to the state
during the 1940s and '50s threatened to simply brush away all that history in a relentless drive to build more houses,
highways and strip malls.
"The explosive growth in population and economic development left much of the physical evidence of our historic
heritage in dust and rubble ," according to the 1973 Florida Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan.
This wholesale destruction galvanized public support for historic preservation, and in 1959 St. Augustine became the first
state-sponsored historic district With the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Florida
Archives and History Act of 1967, historic preservation had arrived .
Heritage tourism is by far the largest component of the economic impact of historic preservation, but McLendon says the
various elements complement each other to the benefit of all.
"Heritage tourism wouldn't be such a big component if the historic homes and districts didn 't exist in the first place,"
McLendon says. "There would be nothing for heritage tourists to see." In a March 2002 survey by Visit Florida, the
state's official tourist promotion agency, 61 percent of the respondents said they participated in some "history-based
activity" while vacationing in Florida. With more than 71 million visitors in 2000, the researchers were able to estimate
$3. 72 billion in expenditures generated by heritage tourism.
The researchers cite St. Augustine as a perfect example of the impact of heritage tourism. County economic development
officials estimate tourism brought in $490 million in 2000.
"The whole city is based on tourism, and the tourism is based on historic preservation," says David D . Birchim, senior
planner for the City of St Augustine.
Using accepted industry formulas, the researchers estimate that the $3. 72 billion in heritage tourism translates into
107,607 Florida jobs, including 51 ,794 in the retail sector and 30,068 in the services sector.
Another component the researchers studied was historical museums, parks and sites. Of the state 's 356 museums, 183 are
considered historic . These historic museums welcomed 9. 7 million visitors in 2001 .
Of Florida's 156 state parks, 46 include sites on the National Register of Historic Places. More than 46 percent of the
18.1 million visitors to Florida state parks in 2001 traveled to a park that is historic or includes some historic or
archaeological site within its borders.
Historic Rehabilitation
The Florida Division of Historical Resources currently recognizes more than
135,000 historical structures and archaeological sites in the state, with more being
added every day.
But there is no central gathering point for information about current building
rehabilitation activity, so the researchers cross-referenced local building permit
::ic.tivity with projec.ts aw;:ircleci certitic::ites of l'!ppropriateness by lor.::il historic
commissions to come up with an estimate of the extent of historic rehabilitation.
The researchers defined rehabilitation as all construction work that the Census
identifies as "alterations." "Historic" was defined as property that is designated as
a local or national landmark, or located in a national or local historic register
district.
"We did not have the capability to consider properties that might be eligible for
historic designation," McLendon says. "Thus we only consider properties
... actually designated as landmarks or included within historic districts -making
f our rehabilitation data very conservative."
I I
The researchers determined that historic properties accounted for about 6.5
percent, or $350 million, of the $5.3 billion rehabilitation construction business in
Florida in 2000.
"This rehabilitation may be as simple as restoring a decayed older house in one of
Florida's many residential historic districts, or as extensive as the adaptive reuse projects that have transformed old
industrial buildings in Tampa's Ybor City to make a vibrant and exciting commercial and entertainment district," the
report says.
State officials estimate that 60 to 70 percent of the cost of the typical historic rehabilitation project in Florida is expended
on labor, and that usually benefits local laborers, the report says.
The researchers employed another innovative approach to determine whether buildings in historic districts held or
appreciated in value compared to comparable buildings outside the district.
Working with Geographic Information Systems researchers from the College of Design, Construction and Planning's
GeoPlan Center, they assessed values for some 28,000 primarily single-family residential properties representing 18
historic districts and 25 comparison neighborhoods in eight Florida cities.
"In at least 15 of the 18 cases studied, property in the historic district appreciated greater than in the non-historic
comparison neighborhoods," the researchers report. ''No instance was found where historic designation depressed
property values."
Main Street, Fla.
From Fort Walton Beach to Key West, Florida cities are taking back their downtowns with the help of the Florida Main
Street Program, reversing the decline that began in the 1960s when people and their pocketbooks headed for the suburbs
and the malls.
"In many small communities, the main street is in a serious state of decline," according to the Florida Main Street
Program web page. "Effective solutions to the problems of deteriorating building stock, loss of business, and the waning
economic strength of downtown are crucial to the survival of the city itself."
Historic preservation and economic development proponents argue that a revitalized downtown reflects a positive image
of a community, creates job opportunities, attracts new industry and strengthens service and retail job markets, stabilizes
and improves the area's tax base and protects the investment already made in downtown infrastructure, and preserves
historic resources.
Since its inception in 1985 , the Main Street Program has distributed a total of $4 million in grants to communities that
have leveraged it into a total of $486.5 million in public/private investment
The UF researchers found that Florida's Main Street Program represented a net investment of $64 million in 2001 ,
generating more than 3 ,200 jobs, primarily in the retail sector.
More than 1,400 historic properties in all 67 Florida counties have been restored or rehabilitated since 1985 through the
Historical Resources Grants-In-Aid Program of the Bureau of Historic Preservation. This program has awarded more
than $212 million in grants to 2 ,751 projects which has been matched by $360 million in local funds.
Pensacola offers a dramatic example of the impact these grants can have on a community. Pensacola dates back more
than 450 years and has one of the oldest and most active historic preservation programs in the state . Much of the
preservation effort in the downtown area has focused on the Historic Pensacola Village, composed of 20 properties
constructed between 1800 and 1900. In 2000-2001 , three Historic Pensacola Village buildings received a $250 ,000 grant
from the state for restoration and continued museum use. The grant applicants estimated that, once restored , these
buildings would host more than 500 ,000 visitors annually.
The researchers say policy makers , like the governor and legislature , need the kind of "hard" economic numbers on
preservation that reports like this generate to make informed decisions about how to support historic preservation
programs.
"There are many demands on the public purse, and preservation is in competition for state support with other priorities,
like rehabilitating highways and providing affordable housing," the report says. "Preservationists often do not have hard
numbers on the economic benefits of their projects, unlike the proponents of competing investments. This is unfortnate ,
since historic preservation generates extensive economic benefits, actually surpassing those yielded by such alternative
investments as infrastructure and new housing construction ."

BRIDGE STREET BRIDGE (49C-o196) OVER ARROYO GRANDE CREEK
Quincy Engineering Inc.(QUINCY)is providing the following additional scope of work to the City of Arroyo
Grande(City)for the on-going Bridge Street Bridge project. The City has requested these services based on the
outcome of several public meetings and discussions with Caltrans. Feedback from numerous stakeholder groups
have been unable to identify a clear preferred alternative to name in the environmental document for project
approval. As a result,the City and Caltrans local assistance have agreed to identify and study two preferred
alternatives(One preferred bridge replacement and one preferred bridge rehabilitation)in the environmental
document. This decision has design scope and cost implications due to the level of engineering which is required
to support the environmental process fora historic bridge.
It is important to note that the original approved cost and scope for this project already included analysis and
engineering efforts to support a bridge replacement alternative through the environmental phase. Therefore the
cost and scope for this amendment is based on engineering required to support a bridge rehabilitation alternative
through the environmental document. Quincy has identified cost and scope for this requested effort below:

project has been higher than anticipated. As the
project timeline has continued to grow additional
meetings have been required in order to determine a
preferred alternative. This task is for additional
coordination time required to support two preferred
alternatives through the environmental process.

You have been trying to keep the Village of Arroyo Grande as a Historical and part of the Cultural Heritage of the Central Coast removing
the Bridge would be altering what you have been trying so hard to restore. l was born and raised in AG, graduated from AGHS in 1988.
Coming back home to the Five Cities Area, so much has changed, but at last going to the Villfige- it still feels like it has not changed..

I was born and raised in Arroyo Grande. The swinging bridge has always held great memories for me Wither during the Harvest Festival,
walking home from high school or date night in the village, the swinging bridge was always a destination, Losing the swinging bridge would

I lived in the five City's area in the 70s and 80s. I grew up around not only the "swinging" bridge but the entire village. Demolishing the bride
is taking a large piece of old town as well as the memories of so many that love it! I still come back to the coast often, and always stop in to d
shops of the village to patronize the businesses there and enjoyo he surroundings... Including the bridge!
