As the number of skilled workers in the construction trades has plummeted in recent years, the shortage of skilled preservation craft workers has continued to grow. Restoration work on historic buildings simply cannot be done without skilled workers, making the training of new craftspeople a critical priority.

ACHP member agencies and organizations are working to preserve historic buildings while enhancing their energy efficiency.
