The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is offering training on Section 106 reviews during May and June. The ACHP issues the Section 106 regulations and provides oversight for the review process.
“This is a great opportunity for Route 66 preservationists to take advantage of several opportunities for free training from the ACHP,” says Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership Chair Bill Thomas. “All topics are geared for beginners in Section 106, including early career professionals in historic preservation and cultural resources management.”
The ACHP will present three Section 106 webinars in May 2023. These one-hour webinars include opportunities for participants to interact with the content, instructors, and others in the Zoom meeting. Participants will receive an electronic certificate of completion.
The series schedule:
• Thursday, May 4, 2023, at 11:00 am EDT, “What is Section 106? Questions and Answers;”
