Historic Preservation Commission


The purpose of the Historic Preservation Commission is to safeguard the heritage of the City by preserving properties, which embody important elements of its cultural, social, economic, political, or architectural history. The Commission reviews applications for Certificates of Appropriateness when modifications are proposed for a property in a historic district. In addition, they identify individual landmarks of historic significance recommending their designation as Historic Properties to the City Council. Meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p. m. at City Hall. The term is three years.
 
There are currently four historic districts as well as a number of existing individual structures on the National Register of Historic Places:
Claremont Historic District
Kenworth Historic District
Oakwood Historic District
Southwest Downtown Historic District
