Commission forms review committee to update Thomaston historic‑preservation ordinance
Summary
Commissioner Chelsea Fallin will lead a multi‑member review of the city’s historic preservation ordinance, with support from Alison Uphold and Ivy Bridges and Archives space offered; the group aims to present suggested changes to council by year’s end.
Taylor Smith told the Historic Preservation Commission that he had circulated the current Thomaston ordinance and sample ordinances from other communities and invited the commission to propose changes.
Commissioner Chelsea Fallin agreed to chair the ordinance review committee; commissioners Alison Uphold and Ivy Bridges agreed to assist. Ex‑Officio Jamesan Gramme offered the Thomaston‑Upson Archives as space for the committee to meet. Fallin said the review would likely take several months, with an objective to provide recommended modifications to the city council by the end of the year.
Commissioners did not vote on any ordinance language at the meeting; the discussion established the review committee and a target timeline. Staff indicated they will support the committee by providing materials and sample language from other municipalities.
