Historic Landmarks Commission

The Historic Landmarks Commission is a local or regional government body responsible for identifying, preserving, and protecting buildings, sites, and districts of historical, cultural, or architectural significance. Their goal is to maintain the community's heritage by reviewing proposed changes to historic properties, ensuring new developments respect the area's character. They often oversee conservation efforts, provide guidelines for renovation, and promote awareness of local history. This commission helps balance development with preservation, ensuring that important landmarks are maintained for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
