Lewisville proclaims May 2025 as Historic Preservation Month
Summary
Council approved a proclamation declaring May 2025 as Historic Preservation Month and invited residents to participate in county programs and marker nominations.
The Town of Lewisville declared May 2025 as Historic Preservation Month and presented a proclamation recognizing the work of the Forsyth County Historic Resources Commission.
During the presentation, the council read the proclamation noting that historic preservation supports economic development, tourism, neighborhood revitalization and community character. Noah Reynolds, a member of the Forsyth County Historic Resources Commission and a Lewisville resident, told the council about the commission’s programs, including an essay contest for middle-school students, historic-marker program (two markers annually), National Register review, tour programming, and a countywide architectural-survey publication that will include Lewisville.
The council asked that a copy of the proclamation be furnished to the Forsyth County Historic Resources Commission and spread upon the town minutes. Staff and council encouraged residents to nominate local sites for the marker program and to consult the commission’s website for events during Historic Preservation Month.
No formal vote was recorded in the transcript for the proclamation beyond the mayor and council presenting and photographing the proclamation; the proclamation text was read into the record.
