[planning-l] Most Notable Property Program

[Planning and Development]

Dear Partner in Historic Preservation,
 
The City of Columbia Historic Preservation Commission is once again accepting application for its annual Most Notable Property Program which recognizes historic and significant properties within the City. As your campus or neighborhood has numerous properties recognized as "Most Notable", and we have not received an application from your organization this year, the Historic Preservation Commission has asked that I share some information about the program in hopes that there may be additional properties you would like to see recognized. 
 
General eligibility requirements are that properties need to be at least 50 years old, located within the City of Columbiacorporate limits, and have architectural or historical characteristics which contribute to our City’s social and/or aesthetic resources. The properties may be endangered, derelict, recently restored, or nicely maintained. They may be a private home, public or private workplace or any other space, public or private. They may be modest or grand, hidden away or in public view.
 
Once applications have been received, the Historic Preservation Commission evaluates the nominations and selects a diverse set of properties which they believe best represent the above qualities.
 
Submission materials can be downloaded by using the link on the City of Columbia’s homepage at www.gocolumbiamo.com/Planning/Commissions/HPC/index.php or by calling the Department of Planning and Development at (573) 874-7239.
 
Applicants are encouraged to provide supporting information about the structure or location such as newspaper articles, historic photos, written histories of individuals who built, owned and/or lived in the structure, and other relevant information. Your non-returnable materials either by mail or in person to City of Columbia Planningand Development Department, Attention: Historic Preservation Commission, 701 E. Broadway, P.O. Box 6015, Columbia65205-6015. Applications are due by October 1, 2010 unless other arrangements are requested. 
 
The Historic Preservation Commission’s “gala” to honor the 2011 selections will take place in February of 2011, location TBA.
 
Please contact me at 817-5006 with questions, and please forward this email along to other parties interested in historic preservation. Thank you for your past participation in this program!
 
Sincerely,
 
Rachel Bacon
