The goal of this Historic Preservation Master Plan (Plan) is to identify goals, strategies and policies to support the continued preservation of the city and its diverse, neighborhood culture for future generations. While the historic character of St. Augustine has been a key element in the city’s economic success, it is also posing or heightening certain challenges: • Tourism: Tourism is the largest economy in St. Augustine, but the demands of tourists are encouraging modifications
