Considering cultural
resources early in project planning yields the greatest number of
options. For example, incorporating archaeological and/or architectural
assessments into the due diligence process prior to purchase of a
commercial property can help avoid costly surprises.
Once a project is underway, careful planning often makes it possible to avoid and preserve archaeological sites and historic buildings. This is generally the most cost-effective approach, and it conserves a nonrenewable resource for the future.
Projects can be designed
creatively to avoid or minimize effects to cultural resources.
Avoidance of cultural resources can often be effectively combined with
other project requirements, such as open space or setbacks, to reduce
overall costs.
