Public Hearing is Thursday, Nov. 30

November 17, 2006

The City of Arlington Landmark Preservation Commission will conduct a public hearing to provide an update on the Historic Resources Survey. The survey is an inventory of pre-1960 historically significant structures, buildings, places, and objects of architectural, historical, and cultural value located within the city limits of Arlington.

The public hearing is 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30, in Room 110 of the Arlington Human Services Complex located at 501 W. Sanford St. in Arlington. Komatsu Architecture, Inc. is leading the Historic Resources Survey team. Phases I and II are complete.

• Phase I updated the 1987 Historic Resources Survey which documented pre-World War II properties and surveyed all properties within the boundaries of the Old Town and South Center Street Historic Districts
   
• Phase II completed a survey of pre-1945 properties that were not identified by the 1987 Historic Resources Survey.
   
• Phase III will identify, record, and assess structures and developments that are now over 50 years old, post-World War II until 1955.

Phase III of Arlington’s Historic Resources Survey captured the attention of Governing, a national magazine which reports on state and local government issues. Read the article at http://www.governing.com/articles/10modern.html.
