Abstract:

The Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the New Bern Preservation Foundation have significantly slowed the pace of demolition, and preserved over five-hundred intact historic buildings dating as far back as the 1700s. While preservation efforts have progressed, there is still doubt whether preservation can boost the economy.
