PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Describe the project and the activities that will take place to complete the project. Indicate the standards or procedures that will be followed and the specific products resulting from the project. The purpose of the third phase of this project is to complete a historic resources survey for a portion of the Harrisburg- West End Historic District which is Augusta's mill village. There are two key areas to be surveyed for phase 3 and there are approximately 630 contributing and non-contributing properties within the defined areas. The project is a multi-year project and if fully funded, this current survey would complete the final phase. The National Register of Historic Places nomination completed in 1990 identified 1,187 contributing and 392 non-contributing properties within the entire district boundary. A qualified consultant will be hired to conduct a historic resources survey of the project area. An architectural description of each resource, its age, history, setting, location and significance will be recorded. The information will be entered on-line using the Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division's Natural, Archaeological and Historic Resources Geographical Information Services (NAHRGIS) program. Two or more digital photographs will be taken of each property depending on its complexity and importance. The survey will conform to Historic Preservation Division standards as outlined in their Historic Resources Survey Manual. A survey report will be submitted by the consultant. The survey report will include the following as outlined by the Historic Preservation Division on their website: 1. A description of the project, including how the survey was funded, who sponsored it, the name of the surveyor, and a clear statement of the boundaries of the area surveyed. 2. Survey results, including the total number of surveyed resources, broken into categories for rural sites, towns, and cities. Previous surveys should be named. 3. A brief developmental history of the area, including how the area reflects distinctive aspects of Georgia's history. 4. An architectural analysis, including the main building types, local architectural character, some general observations, and local eccentricities. Hard copies ofthe survey map and the NAHRGIS forms for each property will be provided by the consultant along with the report at the conclusion of the project. 6. PROGRAMMATIC CRITERIA QUESTIONS: Describe how this project meets the 5 programmatic questions in the scoring criteria for this project type, whether it is a structural survey, national register nomination or local designation, archaeological survey, preservation planning, or information & education. Structural Survey 1. Does the survey involve an area experiencing or expecting increased development pressure? Development is taking place along the boundaries of the Harrisburg-West End Historic District. The Salvation Army is breaking ground in early February 2010 to build their Kroc Center along the northern boundary. The Medical College of Georgia and other medical entities continue to expand and encroach along the western side of the district. The Summerville Historic District, Augusta Downtown Historic District, and the Augusta Canal Industrial District all continue to thrive and experience revitalization. 2. Does the project area lack an existing surveyor does its existing survey document less than 50% ofthe total potential surveyed properties? A windshield survey was completed in 1990 when the district was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. There are many discrepancies between what was documented and what is existing due to the age of the nomination. A complete historic resources survey is needed as development and revitalization are taking place within the district. 3. Will the survey be followed by a district, multiple property or thematic National Register nomination? The Harrisburg-West End Historic District is a National Register district. After the third phase of the survey is complete, the National Register nomination may be updated or revised in consultation with the Georgia Historic Preservation Division. 4. Will the survey be used for planning purposes or other preservation activities (designation, land use planning, Main Street, etc.)? This historic resources survey will be used by the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission, Augusta-Richmond County Historic Preservation Commission, Augusta Downtown Development Authority, Historic Augusta, Inc., and the Harrisburg-West End Neighborhood Association and others to better evaluate the district for land use, economic development, tourism opportunities, housing rehabilitation, and urban neighborhood revitalization. In addition, it will be an important research tool for the community. 5. Is the survey county wide, or does it complete a county wide survey? This survey is not county wide, but it will be an addition to the other surveys that have been completed throughout Richmond County. 7. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: A. Describe how the public will be involved in the project or informed about the project, if applicable: During phase 3 of this survey, the public will be updated on all progress during the monthly Historic Preservation Commission meetings, Harrisburg-West End Neighborhood Association meetings, press releases and in Historic Augusta's newsletter. B. If information, documents, printed or audio/visual materials are to be produced during this project, how many copies will be produced? How will they be used? How widely distributed will the materials be? Will there be a charge for them? Hard copies of the survey map, the NAHRGIS forms for each property, and the survey report will be sent to the DNR Historic Preservation Division, the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission and Historic Augusta, Inc. A copy of the survey report will be sent to the Augusta-Richmond County Historic Preservation Commission and the Harrisburg- West End Neighborhood Association. No fee will be charged for the distribution of these materials to the groups listed. The historic resources survey will be used in order to evaluate the district for land use, economic development, tourism, housing rehabilitation, and neighborhood revitalization. The city is currently exploring a way to link the survey data to current property records on-line. C. Describe the role the local historic preservation commission will play in the project (conduct the project, review drafts, serve on project task force, etc.) The Augusta-Richmond County Historic Preservation Commission members will serve on the advisory committee to hire the consultant, monitor the progress, and review the final materials. The Historic Preservation Commission will also update the general public about the progress and the results of the project as needed during their scheduled montWy meetings. 8. PROJECT IMPACT: A. Does this project meet stated preservation goals within a local, regional or statewide plan? Explain. There are goals and strategies that meet local, regional, and statewide preservation plans that will be met by completing the third phase of this survey. On the local level, the preservation plan of 1991 identified needs for local preservation stating establish procedures for ongoing identification, nomination, and protection of historic resources. Develop strategies for preserving and enhancing historical neighborhoods. A goal of the Augusta- Richmond County Comprehensive Preservation Plan of 2008 is to update and consolidate local historic resources surveys. Regional goals are met through issues addressed in the "Central Savannah River Area Regional Plan 2005-2025" and is listed as the need to complete historic resources surveys. State goals are met through the "Georgia's State Historic Preservation Plan 2007- 2011: Building a Preservation Ethic" as preserve Georgia's historic resources. Under this goal, and objective to identifY and evaluate historic resources and facilitate dissemination of information about them for planning and education purposes. B. Why is this project needed at this time? A historic resources survey is needed at this time in the Harrisburg-West End Historic District as the neighborhood is threatened by physical deterioration, neglect, disinvestment, and a lack of owner-occupied residences. The area is plagued by poor maintenance and was identified by Historic Augusta, Inc., as an Endangered Property for its 2008 list. With the continued sprawl of the medical community and the new construction of the Salvation Army's Kroc Center, it is feared that the historical integrity and the architectural elements of this mill community will be lost or altered beyond recognition. This historic resources survey will enable the documentation of the neighborhood as it appears this day and identify the significant features and preserve the district. The Augusta Downtown Development Authority has expanded its boundaries to include the Harrisburg-West End Historic District in order to expand its scope of services. C. Would the project be completed if HPF grant funding is not provided? Explain. The survey could not be completed without the HPF grant funding for this third phase. The Historic Preservation Commission is an appointed, volunteer board that does not have a working budget. The staff of the Planning Commission donates their time and efforts to work on behalf of the Commission. The Planning Commission, Historic Augusta, Inc., and the Augusta Downtown Development Authority do not have the funds to finance this project. D Would partial funding from HPD allow for a successful result? Explain. Partial funding from the HPD would allow for a successful result, although the area that would be surveyed would be limited due to the funds available. E. Is there demonstrated local support for this project from 1) the local preservation commission (required); 2) local citizens; 3) local historical/preservation organizations; 4) local government 5) others? Explain and attach evidence of support.

We continue to work closely with the city on addressing ideas that reflect current needs and concur that the proposal is of high priority. This application is the third in the three part plan to complete a historic resources survey in the Harrisburg-West End Historic District in Augusta. The original evaluation of the neighborhood is now nearly 20 years old and we are eager to see the entire neighborhood survey complete. We continue to work, along with several other groups, on stabilizing this important historic neighborhood on multiple fronts. We continue to explore preservation and rehabilitation through private investment and the complete survey will enable our staff and many others to have a current and accurate inventory of the historic structures and resources found there. With the new Kroc Center being built by the Salvation Army in Harrisburg-West End neighborhood, we are hopeful that the impact for investment will be positive and of great interest, leading to more preservation in the area. The size of the Harrisburg-West End Historic District required that it be surveyed in three phases. The area selected for Phase Three will address development issues in the area that is nearest to the Summerville Historic District and across from a new potential historic district, tentatively called Woodlawn. Thank you for your careful and favorable consideration of this request for grant funds. We look forward to working on this project as a part of the overall plan to address the needs in Harrisburg-West End. Sincerely, ?~ ErickD.
