Hillside Avenue Historic District Reorganizes

Here's an update posted by Libby Price on Facebook:

Fabulous kickoff meeting for the Hillside Avenue Historic District! A great turnout and lots of new energy and ideas for our District and the City. Congrats to our 2015 Board...President Peter Price; Vice President Dawn Jenkin; Treasurer Nathan Vaughn; Secretary Quinn Jarrett.

Plaintalker wishes the same for all the historic districts. Some are already operating at a dynamic level and provide positive interest in the city with house tours and other events. Others may need a little "new energy" as Hillside has found.

There is a wealth of information on the city web site about historic preservation, but you have to dig a bit for it.

You have to go to Departments, open Public Works & Urban Development, choose Divisions, then choose Planning on the drop-down menu. All the land use boards (Planning, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Shade Tree Commission and Historic Preservation Commission) are under Planning.

Here's a map of all the historic districts and sites and there are also maps of individual districts. Take a few minutes and look around!
