SHPO is organized into four units: the National Register and Survey Unit, the Technical Assistance and Compliance Unit, the
Archeology Unit, and the Outreach Unit (which includes the Certified Local Government Program, Planning, and our two regional
grants representatives). Within most units, each staff person is assigned a specific territory, which generally encompasses
numerous counties and municipalities within them. Although regional boundaries vary from unit to unit as shown on the territory
maps, staff members from the various units communicate and work with their peers in the other units on a regular basis.
Please consult the territory maps and contact lists to identify the staff person responsible for your territory and therefore most
able to respond to your inquiry.
