Other Business
Jayme Abbott provided an update on the School Street Local Historic District application. This
was taken off the informal calendar by Laura Ward and was voted on and passed by City
Council. The city’s website has been updated to reflect that we do have a new Local Historic
District. Staff has communicated with Quinn Chapel concerning the process for applying to be
included in an established local historic district. To date, they have not applied.
Jayme Abbott also reminded the commission that the City has been awarded a grant from
Department of Natural Resources to establish a Preservation Plan for the City and to complete
an architectural survey of the West Main area both to be completed by a third party consultant.
