WHY PRESERVE?
 Historic preservation
- builds civic pride
- encourages tourism
- educates residents and visitors about community heritage
- stimulates economic development, revitalizing depressed neighborhoods
- stabilizes buildings, enhancing value of rents, generating business opportunity, and increasing property values and tax base
- builds positive partnerships among government, civic, educational, and private organizations
- infuses revenue to preservation-related businesses
- in Butte, our rich history is the key to our ongoing claim to being "the richest hill on earth"
