Join us for a collaborative stakeholder listening session focused on understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with our district’s historic overlay. This conversation will bring together property owners, business leaders, residents, developers, and community partners to share lived experiences, identify barriers, and explore solutions that balance preservation with economic vitality.
Historic overlay districts play a critical role in protecting the character and cultural heritage of our community - but they can also present complexities related to development, maintenance, design standards, and regulatory processes. This session is designed to create an open and constructive space where stakeholders can voice concerns, highlight successes, and help inform future policies, resources, and support systems.
Input gathered will directly contribute to shaping strategies that enhance clarity, accessibility, and alignment between preservation goals and the evolving needs of the district.
Who should attend:
Property owners, business operators, developers, preservation advocates, residents, and anyone with an interest in the district’s future.
What to expect:
• Opportunity to share feedback and lived experiences
• Collaborative identification of key challenges and potential solutions
• Innovate and get creative within the footprint while building connections with fellow stakeholders and community leaders
Your voice is essential in helping us share transparently, find tangible ways to be more supportive, and provide in-person resources for better understanding of our historic overlay district.
