Update of City Architectural and Intensive Survey
Summary
The city will seek state grant money to update its survey of historic properties — a record that protects buildings from being dismissed as 'arbitrary' designations and can save owners money on National Register listings. A prior $35,000 application was rejected for trying to cover the whole city at once.
