The Cedar Rapids Historic Preservation Commission established the Historic Asset Inventory Committee (HAIC) to create an inventory of historic properties in the community. The HAIC is made up of members from the Historic Preservation Commission and two community non-profits, Friends of Cedar Rapids Historic Preservation and Save CR Heritage. The purpose the of the inventory is to identify historic assets in the community to help prioritize proactive historic preservation strategies and promote public awareness of historic assets. The HAIC established a list of focus properties for the year to apply these strategies, which includes: owner outreach, local landmarking, adaptive reuse plans, National Register listing, and more.
