    PROFITS THROUGH PRESERVATION The Economic Impact of Historic Preservation in Utah SUMMARY REPORT Jobs and Income Heritage Tourism Property Values Sustainability Downtown Revitalization Fiscal Responsibility PROFITS THROUGH PRESERVATION The Economic Impact of Historic Preservation in Utah SUMMARY REPORT Jobs and Income Heritage Tourism Property Values Sustainability Downtown Revitalization Fiscal Responsibility Prepared for: Utah Heritage Foundation Prepared by: PlaceEconomics, July 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction . 1 Jobs and Income . 2 Heritage Tourism . 5 Property Values . 9 Sustainability . 15 Downtown Revitalization . 18 Fiscal Responsibility . 23 Conclusions . 25 INTRODUCTION Salt Lake City & County Building Utah is well known for having one of the strongest, most stable economies in the country. There are multiple reasons for this: a well-educated work- force, economic diversity, fiscally responsible state and local governments, and substantial year-in, year-out production from the agriculture, natural resources, high-tech, and tourism sectors. Utahns are rightfully proud of their state’s economy . They are also proud of the depth and breadth of the heritage resources found through- out the state’s 29 counties . Temple Square in Salt Lake City, the vibrant business district on 25th Street in Ogden, the Stagecoach Inn at Camp Floyd, and the Jens Nielson House in Bluff may not seem to have much in common. Some are owned by an institution, some by the private sector, and some by government . Some are grand in scale; some are modest . But they have one thing in common – each is a physical representation of the history of Utah . But “economy” and “historic preservation” do not often appear in the same sentence.

  • Mac Rae Bartholomew Dec
    Mac Rae Bartholomew Dec. 8, 1930 ~ Dec. 29, 2019 Mac Rae, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully Sunday, December 29, 2019, two months after his Sweetheart, Vira Beth. Mac had recently celebrated his 89th birthday, born December 8, 1930. Mac was born to V. Lloyd and Florence Ann Domgaard Bartholomew, in Fayette, Utah, the fifth son of seven siblings, including one sister. The family farmed, raised livestock, hunted, and grew up knowing hard work. Mac played basketball at Gunnison High School and developed musical talents, including piano, flute and singing. He first met Vira Beth just before leaving on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and they corresponded throughout his mission. Mac served two years in the Southwestern States Mission (Brownsville, Texas area) learning to speak Spanish fluently, which would shape much of his later life. He returned and married Vira Beth in the Logan, Utah Temple on June 10, 1950. Mac continued literature and Spanish/French language studies, graduating from Brigham Young University in 1954, followed by a Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, where they welcomed a daughter, Janeen. Mac and Vi (as close friends referred to them) relocated to Whittier, CA, where the remaining five of six children were born, Audrey, Brenda, Marlene, Bruce, and Scott. Mac was a Spanish and French teacher at Cal High and La Serna High School in Whittier, as well as assistant tennis coach. He enjoyed performing in a semi-professional folk musical group, \"The Vagabonds,\" playing both guitar and banjo, and later bass fiddle.
