Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA)

Overview

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) helps to ensure compliance with the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act. Under this law, SHPO helps to evaluate any potential disruption or alteration of a historic, architectural or archaeological resource or of its setting. The SHPO team works collaboratively with the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management as well as other state agencies to integrate cultural resource consideration into any state agency project planning efforts.
