Abstract:

 

Athens, Georgia is the quintessential American college town, home to the first state-chartered university in the United
States. While its cultural heritage has suffered from development, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth
century, it has retained much of its character by employing available public and private historic preservation
tools. This paper explores how some of those tools have been utilized by government, nonprofit organizations and
private individuals and enterprises, including survey, planning, listing, economic incentives, and protection through
government regulation, private law devices, and public education. The role of nonprofit organizations, the University
of Georgia, and local government are highlighted. Maintaining community character as the community continues
to develop and grow will be an ongoing challenge, but current tools, along with new approaches, can be applied to
achieve that end.
