ACI PART OF AN AWARDED TEAM
The City of St. Augustine was recognized in two award categories by the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation at the Florida Secretary of State Awards and Florida Preservation Awards in 2021. Archaeological Consultants, Inc., and a collaboration team consisting of Taylor Engineering, Place Economics, Marquis, Latimer, Halback, Inc., and The Craig Group, were awarded for the City of St. Augustine’s project, Resilient Heritage in America’s Oldest City.
This report was recognized for Outstanding Achievement in the Resilient Preservation category. The results of this study outline best practices for resiliency strategies that can be used in historic districts nationwide. The comprehensive final document identifies methods for prioritizing archaeological sites threatened by rising seas, outlines the economic impacts of previous and future flooding events and recommends potential solutions such as mitigation strategies and policy revisions. Having city-wide vulnerability assessments, adaptation strategies and mitigation planning for flooding and sea level rise are valuable sources of information for the City’s policymakers and the community’s property owners.
