In December 2009, the Commission adopted Design Guidelines
for the development, renovation and/or alteration of buildings in the District.
The purpose of the guidelines is to protect and preserve the historic integrity of the downtown area. Exterior renovations, including signage and painting, must be approved by the Commission.
Members of the Historic Preservation Commission include: Michael Williams-Chair, Cedric Hollinger, Robyn Nielsen, Wanda Whiting, Paula Richeson, Percy Parker, Stephanie Cobb, and Anne Marie Bryan.
Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of every month at 8:00 A.M. at City Hall.
Certificate of Appropriateness applications must be submitted to City Hall by the 12th of each month to be considered at the monthly meeting.
