A particularly moving part of the program came when Alden Burch Naranjo, Jr. was awarded a posthumous Alpine Bank State Honor Award accepted by his expansive and loving family. More than 20 relatives, Southern Ute Tribal members, and Chairman Melvin J. Baker attended to support Cassandra Atencio (Naranjo’s daughter) in receiving the award. When accepting the Dana Crawford Award, Tim Schultz notes preservation goes back millennia in Colorado.

Preservation for a Changing Colorado

Historic preservation has a direct economic benefit to communities and Colorado! Take a look at the 2017 study, which considered the ways adaption of historic places has a direct financial effect on the state.

This updated, most resent study, was the result of a partnership between Colorado Preservation, Inc and History Colorado, funded by a grant from History Colorado's State Historical Fund. Prepared by Clarion Associates, the new report document the economic benefits of rehabilitation projects, analyzes property values and neighborhood stability in local historic districts, and summarizes the increasing impact of heritage tourism, private preservation development and the success of Colorado’s Main Street program.

In a key finding, researchers determined that for every $1 million spent on historic preservation in Colorado it produced $1.03 million in additional spending, 14 new jobs, and $636,700 in increased household incomes across the state!

The 2017 report also considers the important role preservation plays in helping Coloradans provide new spaces for creative communities and co-working, create and sustain meaningful places, responds to the state’s changing demographics, and addresses climate concerns.
