Comprehensive Statewide Historic Preservation Plan (State Plan 2016-2020)

To join the National program, and to continue receiving Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) Grants, Guam must update its NPS-approved State Plan every 5 years. The current plan will be updated in 2020. (Due to COVID-19, a request for extension was approved to be submitted in 2021.)
