A Guide to Smart Growth and Cultural Planning [.pdf]:  This 72- page guide is an outgrowth of Wisconsin Act 9, which stipulated that every comprehensive plan address cultural resources in the affected community or region. The guide contains chapters dealing with creating and executing a cultural resource survey, educating the community about the resulting cultural resource plan, and potential funding sources. Because they contain an example of a model historic preservation ordinance for small communities and the city of La Crosse's own archaeological preservation ordinance, the appendices are also very helpful. While some material within the report is specific to existing Wisconsin laws and practices, much of the guide will be a welcome addition for historic preservationists and planners throughout the United States.
