Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission
The Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission was established in 1990. The Commission reviews applications for proposed work to locally designated structures that cannot be approved on a staff level. These reviews take place at the monthly Commission meeting. The Historic Preservation Office is here to help the public through the process as well as to explain the District Design Regulations and Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. A schedule for the meetings can be found here: 2011 JHPC Meeting Schedule and Neighborhood Design Review Schedule.
Additionally, through the Comprehensive Plan, the Commission was given the goal 'to identify, document, protect, and preserve its archaeological, historic, architectural, and cultural resources. Instilling public awareness of those resources shall be a part of that effort.' The Commission achieves this goal through designation of significant structures, historic districts and sites as well as through the Annual Preservation Awards Program.
