Qualification and Responsibilities of Interested Parties

To meet the spirit and intent of the State History Code, the SEA has requested the views of interested parties on findings and determinations regarding historic properties for the Lower Hill Redevelopment Project. For this project, in addition to SEA and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (the State Historic Preservation Officer), interested parties may include representatives of local governments and others who meet the definition of a “consulting party,” as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 [36 CFR§800.2 (c) (5)]. Meetings of the Interested Parties are NOT open to the public or the media, however, results of these meetings will be posted after each meeting for review by the public.

Overview

To meet the spirit and intent of the State History Code, the SEA will request the views of interested parties, as well as the public, on findings and determinations regarding historic properties for the Lower Hill Redevelopment Project. The goal of consultation is to identify historic properties affected by the project, assess effects to historic resources, and seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties resulting from project implementation.
