Historic Preservation Commission

Following the announcement of the closure of the George Howard Building to the public, the Department of Planning and Zoning continues to operate through remote service. Given state and local mandates to cease in-person meetings, the HPC is unable to conduct public in-person hearings. The Commission will conduct their regular July meeting as a virtual meeting on July 1, 2021 at 7:00 pm, where the public is invited to speak on the agenda items. 

The Historic Preservation Commission meeting on July 1, 2021 at 7:00 pm will be a WebEx meeting only. If you would like to testify, you must pre-register so you can be identified during the WebEx meeting.  Please see the “Providing Testimony” tab for additional instructions.
