maps, based on the data supplied by the Principal Investigator. 4. Submission of nominations. The Principal Investigator will assemble reports, all supporting photographs and other material, and submit them through NCDAH to the Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C. The nominations will be approved there, and then, if approved? entered into the Register. The project will require three paid employees. The Principal Investigator will work on the project full-time, conducting most of the necessary research and photo- graphy, and preparing the text for the multiple resource nomination. He will draw on volunteered assistance from members of Historic Cabarrus, Incorporated, whenever feasible. The part-time services of a secretary, already employed by tile Concord Planning Department, will also be needed to type the National Register nominations and project correspondence. Finally, a Draftsman- cartographer, also currently employed by the City of Concord, will be needed to prepare the maps accompanying the National Register nominations, and to work with the printer on the inventory publication. The Draftsman-Cartographer will work full-time with the project a total of six weeks over the course of the year. D.

The research that supports nominations of historic districts to the National Register will provide the City and County with the information they will need to establish historic districts and historic district commissions. 2. The selection of individual structures and groups of buildings for the National Register will help city and county planners develop clear priorities for direct public action and stimulus to private preservation efforts. The Compl-ehensive Community Inventory does not comparatively evaluate properties, but such evaluation will be necessary to develop historic preservation plans. 3. Tile n~mination of historically and architecturally significant properties with income-producing potential to the National Register can be an important tool for promoting the preservation of such properties by encouraging private investors to adapt such buildings to new uses. E. Time Frame As stated in the Methodology Section, the project will be ~ivided into four major phases. Before the project is begun, however, two related tasks will be
