Historic Resurvey Aims to Uncover Hidden Stories
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the importance of conducting a comprehensive resurvey of historic buildings in the district, emphasizing its value for future research and understanding of the area's historical significance. The current documentation, which dates back to the early 1970s, lacks crucial details, such as a definitive list of contributing and non-contributing buildings. This gap in information can hinder decision-making regarding preservation and development.

The resurvey aims to capture a \"snapshot in time\" and gather updated historic data, allowing for a more nuanced appreciation of the district's architecture, including buildings that may have gained significance over the years. Officials noted that perspectives on historic value can evolve, highlighting the need for an inclusive approach to history that reflects diverse narratives.

The resurvey is set to be completed by August 2025 and is considered the first step in a broader initiative to update the existing study committee report. This report will incorporate the new findings and guide future planning efforts in the city. The officials underscored that while the resurvey itself will not alter the boundaries of the historic district, it is essential for informed decision-making moving forward.
