Historic Landmark Commission

A Historic Landmark Commission is a dedicated local or regional group responsible for identifying, preserving, and protecting buildings, sites, and areas of historical, cultural, or architectural significance. They evaluate proposals for development or changes that could impact these landmarks, ensuring that preservation efforts are balanced with community growth. Their goal is to maintain the character and heritage of the area for future generations while allowing responsible development. Essentially, they serve as stewards of a community’s historical identity, providing guidance and oversight to safeguard valuable cultural resources.
