The Foundation strives to form community consensus on longterm, sustainable development patterns that can provide lasting benefits for citizens while embracing the need for growth.

Seems to be more a conservation/urban planning organization than individual historic sites. Does offer some educational/interpretation events, though. Appropriate for inclusion?
