The Historic Landmarks Commission has had a busy and successful year! Although conducting business remotely for most of the year, the HLC still managed to designate 10 properties as local historic landmarks. We couldn’t preserve properties without the help of supportive property owners, our local governing boards, our historic consultants, and of course our dedicated Commissioners, among others, including members of the public who believe in the importance of historic preservation. We’re always on the lookout for significant historic resources so if you’re aware of such a property that you’d like us to look into, let us know.
