Dear editor,Historic preservation in the United States is under attack. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act currently requires federal agencies to consult with local governments, the tribes, concerned members of the public, and other local stakeholders. On June 24, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to pass the most extreme modifications to the Section 106 implementing regulations our country has ever seen. The proposed changes remove local voices from the process.
