Abstract:
Preservation North Carolina started its Endangered Properties Program in 1977. Then the first criteria for preservation was that the property had to be endangered. In 2007, North Carolina is experiencing explosive growth and the definition of what constitutes an endangered property has changed. Myrick discusses this new endangered definition, such as historic buildings sited on highly developable land; historic buildings located on agricultural land; and historic buildings that are candidates for salvage and reuse of their contents.
