Historic Landmark Commissions
Historic Landmark Commissions are organizations responsible for identifying, designating, and preserving buildings, sites, and structures of historical significance within a specific jurisdiction. These commissions typically consist of appointed members knowledgeable in architecture, history, and preservation, who review and make decisions on proposed alterations, demolitions, or new construction projects that may impact designated landmarks. The primary goal of Historic Landmark Commissions is to protect and promote the cultural heritage and architectural character of a community for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
