Introduction of a Heritage Area
and
Resource Assessment
Eastern North Carolina
National Heritage Area Feasibility Study
5. What is a National Heritage Area?
A National Heritage Area is a place designated
by the United States Congress where natural,
cultural, historic, and recreational resources
combine to form a cohesive, nationally significant
landscape arising from patterns of human activity
shaped by geography.

6. What does a National Heritage Area do?
A National Heritage Area uses shared history as
a platform for action to collaborate on
preservation, promotion and sustainable
development based on heritage assets in the
region.
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
7. What National Heritage Areas are NOTā¦
āNational heritage areas do
not appear to have directly
affected the rights of
property owners. To
address property
concerns, the designating
legislation of 13 of the 24
heritage areas and
management plans of at
least
6 provide explicit
GAO Report, March 30, 2004 assurances that the areas
will not affect property

Study ownersā rights.ā
8. Purpose of a Feasibility Study
Before Congress considers designation of a
National
Heritage Area, it needs information about the
quality of the resources and whether the
resources and the region meet the established
criteria for an NHA.

16. Interpretive ThemeāSettling a New World
Facing untold hardship with equal
determination, early habitants
capitalized on eastern North Carolinaās
prominence on the Atlantic coast to
create a home and livelihoods and
eventually to influence the
establishment of a new nation, one
which encompassed the regionās
inherent struggle between freedom
and enslavement.
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
18. Interpretive ThemeāLiving with the Land
and the Water
Eastern North Carolinaās distinctive
landscape of coastal plain, piney
woods, banks and waters gave rise to
all manner of livelihood, from those
who scratched out a living to those
who amassed prosperity from
maritime and agricultural
enterprises, shaping daily life and
impacting regional and national
Study
historical events.

20. Interpretive ThemeāDefense of a Nation
Since early exploration of the New
World, the military has been a strong
presence in Eastern North
Carolina, giving the region a critical
role in establishing a new nation in the
Revolutionary War, in reflecting the
struggle of a nation torn apart by Civil
War, and in defending Americaās ideals
in 20th and 21st century wars.

1. No Action ā individual programs and no coordination
2. Local Coordination of Heritage Program
3. State Program only
4. National Heritage Area Designation
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
29. Alternative #1
No Action
1. Individual programs and projects continue through
convention and visitors bureaus and at county
level.
2. Coordination is scattered; partnering is limited, at
best.
3. Lack of unifying theme or story that ties region
together.
4. No new funding is available, and existing funding
is competitive.
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
30. Alternative #2
Local Coordination
1. Individual programs and projects continue through
convention and visitors bureaus and at county
level.
2. Coordination is advanced between counties and
CVBs; partnering increases, but is localized.
3. Lack of unifying theme or story that ties region
together.
4. Funding opportunities may increase, but remains
competitive among āpartners.ā
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
31. Alternative #3
State Heritage Area
1. Individual programs and projects continue
through convention and visitors bureaus and at
county level.
2. Coordination is advanced between counties
and CVBs; public-private partnerships begin to
emerge.
3. Coordination is advanced between existing
state programs and other regional heritage
assets.
4. Development of a unifying theme or story that
ties together the region.
5. Funding opportunities through available state
grants and programs.
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
32. Alternative #4
National Heritage Area
1. Individual programs and projects continue through
convention and visitors bureaus and at county level.
2. Coordination is advanced between counties and
CVBs; public-private partnerships increase at
local, state and federal levels, and become region-
wide.
3. Identification of a nationally-significant theme and
story tying together the whole region.
4. Designation brings national recognition and makes
region eligible for funding to assist with planning and
implementation.
5. Other funding opportunities with public and private
partners may increase.

43. Alternative #5
NHA with State and Local Involvement

private partnerships increase at local, state and federal
levels, and become region-wide.
3. Identification of a nationally-significant theme and story tying
together the whole region.
4. Designation brings national recognition and makes region
eligible for funding to assist with planning and implementation.

efforts, and enhancing partnerships among North Carolinaās
heritage areas.
Eastern North Carolina National Heritage Area Feasibility
Study
46. Preferred Alternative
NHA with State and Local Involvement
1. Adopt Alternative # 5 ā pursue designation of a National
Heritage Area along with a state heritage area and local
government involvement.
2. Next phase of planning ā the management plan ā should be
coordinated by the three commissions, with an eye toward
evolving the partnership and identifying a long-term
management entity to oversee the heritage area.

federal, state, local and private.
4. Organizations participating in the planning and development of
the heritage area will be encouraged to provide in-kind support

5. Early implementation projects will be pursued as a way to
further solidify the regional partnership and help advance
projects that demonstrate an overarching theme.
