The commission wants to designate up to six local properties on state/federal historic registries, but funding was unavailable until July 2027, making the process competitive. Three property owners got letters of interest in August and none has responded, so outreach may need a second try.

Historic Preservation Commission - Jun 22, 2026
Six properties (four residential, two commercial) were targeted for historic designation, but the project is on hold because federal CLG grant funding is unavailable. There are early signs funding may return for 2027, and a couple of interested property owners near Ridgway Boulevard could get good news.
