Delaware governor named to historic preservation council

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s appointment of Gov. John Carney as a governor member of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation was confirmed Thursday by chair Sara C. Bronin.

He is the first governor to serve on the council since 2010, and his term will run through June 2025.

“As governor, I took an oath to ‘respect the right of future generations to share the rich historic and natural heritage of Delaware,’ and I’m honored to bring that commitment to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,” Gov. Carney said.

“It’s important we preserve our nation’s history for future generations. I look forward to joining the important work of connecting the past to the present by promoting preservation programs and the sustainable use of our country’s resources. I’d like to thank President Biden for this opportunity to serve and for his administration’s ongoing effort to strengthen our communities.”
