Heritage Preservation Commission

Members will be notified of meeting date – 7 members

The Heritage Preservation Commission was formed in 2004 with the following objectives:

1. Identify the significant structures and details required to preserve the quality of the district.
2. Provide guidance to local property owners on the historical significance of their individual properties.
3. Establish sensitive workable local design guidelines for restoration, renovation, or rehabilitation of properties with the district.

The Heritage Preservation Commission was also designated as the Certified Local Government by the National Park Service in 2005.

The commission reviews proposals for changes to downtown properties and determines if the changes are appropriate to the guidelines. If so, the commission will issue a “Certificate of Appropriateness” prior to the city issuing a building permit.
