Like mature trees, pretty architecture & history?

You’ll want to share your input:

Later this year, City Council will consider the development of a program that would address the preservation, renewal and enhancement of the city’s existing housing and neighborhoods. To assist in their consideration, the Planning Commission Subcommittee on Preservation (Preservation Subcommittee) is currently developing a set of recommendations, which will be presented to City Council and help determine the direction of this initiative.

The Preservation Subcommittee believes that public involvement is a key part of the planning process and vital to its success. Therefore, we invite you to review the Draft Neighborhood Preservation Policy Report, which can be found on the Preservation Subcommittee’s web page. The subcommittee’s webpage can be accessed from the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation’s web site, http://www.vbgov.com/housing, under the “Housing Initiatives” section, as “Preservation Initiative.” There you can access information about the subcommittee, such as its membership, meeting schedules, agendas and notes, and a copy of the Draft Neighborhood Preservation Policy Report. Remember to check the web page often as it is continually updated with the progress of the subcommittee’s work.

As you review the Draft Neighborhood Preservation Policy Report, we ask that you please keep the following questions in mind:

  * Are these the right goals?
  * Is this the right direction?
  * How else can we address neighborhood preservation?

The Preservation Subcommittee values input on these recommendations and encourages you to share your feedback by contacting Lanitha Hudson, the coordinator of the Preservation Initiative at lhudson@vbgov.com or by calling 385-5734.  You can also contact any member of the Preservation Subcommittee to share your feedback.  The Membership list is located under “Related Documents” on the right of the Preservation Initiative webpage.

Thank you for your interest in the Preservation Initiative. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
