The Trump administration is pushing to revise historic preservation rules, including significant changes to Section 106, which could weaken protections for historic sites across the United States, not just in Washington D.C. Critics warn that these revisions could undermine the review process for historic-preservation projects, potentially allowing federal projects to bypass local regulations and historical oversight. Proposed changes have sparked intense pushback, with opponents fearing that the rollbacks may silence state-recognized tribes and threaten the integrity of national landmarks and parks. Several boards and councils have responded to these proposals, highlighting the contentious debate surrounding the future of America’s historical sites.
