Council adopts proclamation for French Creole Heritage District at 'Saint Mary's' site
Summary
The council voted to adopt a proclamation recognizing a French Creole Heritage District — proposed as the 'Saint Mary's site' — and agreed to continue work on a small interpretive structure and appropriate district name and signage.
Ste. Genevieve City council members voted to adopt a proclamation recognizing a local French Creole Heritage District at the Saint Mary's site and agreed to continue work on naming and placement of a small interpretive structure.
Council discussion focused on choosing a name that fits local groups already using corridor terminology in the Mississippi River Valley. One member proposed "French Creole Heritage District — Saint Mary's site" as the working name for the Saint Mary revitalization initiative and suggested a 12-by-10 vertical-log interpretive structure near City Hall with room for a few parking spaces.
A motion to adopt the proclamation was made, seconded and declared passed by the presiding official. Council agreed to prepare the proclamation language and return with a draft at a future work session.
