Historic preservation across the country—and right here in Cobb County—is facing an unprecedented challenge. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) recently advanced sweeping revisions to the regulations governing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). What is Section 106? It's a vital federal safeguard that gives local municipalities, tribal nations, preservation experts, and everyday residents a voice whenever federal funds or permits are being used for local development. It covers everything from road widenings and utility expansions to data centers and large commercial projects.

Under the proposed changes, public input and consultation with state and local preservation leaders would become discretionary rather than mandatory. This means projects—such as widening streets in historic neighborhoods—could move forward without requiring feedback from the city, neighbors, Cobb Landmarks, or the State Historic Preservation Office.

Historic preservation and community progress are not mutually exclusive. As the NHPA states, preserving history is essential to giving the American people a sense of place. I invite you to contact your legislators and urge them to protect Section 106 so our community retains a seat at the table.
