Last week, President Obama released his FY 2011 budget request that would e
liminate funding for Save America's Treasures (SAT) and Preserve America (P
A), and cut funding for National Heritage Areas by 50 percent. These criti
cal historic preservation programs matter now more than ever -- not only be
cause they protect our national heritage but because they serve as economic
development engines and job creators in the thousands of communities they
serve. For example, Save America's Treasures alone has been responsible fo
r more than 16,000 jobs since it was created just ten years ago.
