Phasing

Many factors affect project prioritization and execution including:

• Risks to public safety

• Risks to historic fabric

• Potential public impact in building stakeholder support

• Potential for advancing the overarching conservation vision

• Availability of well-suited funding sources and opportunities

• Donor interest

• Available time and resources

Because of this, prioritizing work isn’t always a clear linear or hierarchical process, but having a clear overall sense of project goals, scopes, and relative urgency puts management in a position to direct efforts towards the most urgent needs and be prepared to take advantage of funding opportunities as they arise.
