This study, a collection of legal and administrative documents for forty locally-initiated neighborhood preservation programs, is intended as a companion document to the report, Neighborhood Preservation: A Catalog of Local Programs. This study does not document all programs in the Catalog. Only those programs with substantial, available documentation were illustrated. These programs documents are arranged by the same categories as were used in the Catalog. They are: Code enforcement--Comprehensive--Focused public services--Growth management/neighborhood control--Historic preservation--Management of abandonment--Neighborhood services--Structural rehabilitation/financing.
