Summary
The commission adopted its 2026 work plan and will submit the Certified Local Government annual report to the State Historic Preservation Office and National Park Service; staff reported 14 COA applications, 4 demolition requests, 3 public hazards and no new local landmarks in the prior year.
The Davenport Historic Preservation Commission on Feb. 10 adopted its 2026 work plan and affirmed the city's Certified Local Government annual report, which staff will submit to the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service.
Matt, the commission's staff presenter, said the city's certified-local-government submission summarizes the previous year's reviews and education work. He reported 14 certificate-of-appropriateness applications, 4 demolition requests, 3 public hazards and no new local landmark listings for the reporting year. The work plan groups activities into three areas: education, government advocacy, and project development/grants.
Commissioners discussed outreach and training plans, including a Quad Cities historic-preservation training series (April–July), partnerships with Butterworth Center and Deer Wyman House, and downtown walking tours and talks by local historian Ellen Shapley. Staff said the work plan will be presented to city council at the Feb. 17 management update and the mayor will sign the required documentation before the Feb. 28 submission deadline.
After discussion and minor edits, the commission voted to adopt the 2026 work plan. Staff will present the plan to city council and follow up on scheduling for proposed training and outreach events during 2026.
