Provisional Agenda

Today, The Hill published ACHP Chair Sara Bronin’s op-ed warning of the growing threat of climate change to America’s historic places and landmarks.

The ACHP is recruiting an Assistant Historic Preservation Technician (GG-10/11) to coordinate documentation and correspondence to support the ACHP's work in the historic preservation review process required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

This position serves a critical administrative role in the Office of Federal Agency Programs in Washington, DC. The duties include receiving and reviewing Section 106 correspondence and routing it for review; assembling case data and generating reports; managing outgoing correspondence and documents; managing electronic records in accordance with government protocols; and providing other administrative support.

The ACHP is now recruiting for three permitting-related positions. These are full-time, temporary positions, with an initial 13-month term subject to further extension based on continuing funding. They are all remote work eligible.

Today, the New York Times published ACHP Chair Sara Bronin’s letter responding to a column by Binyamin Appelbaum which suggested that New York must choose between preserving its historic buildings and affordable housing. Bronin wrote that historic buildings need not be a barrier to affordable housing. In fact, rehabilitating and reusing historic buildings for housing can be a key part of addressing housing shortages.

“The Advisory Council stands ready to work with cities like New York to implement, test and refine progressive preservation strategies that allow more people to live in and benefit from the inspiring places that connect us to our past,” Bronin said.
