Commission hears warning about potential threats to federal Section 106 protections
Summary
Chair Debbie Davis reported on a preservation forum and warned commissioners that threats to federal Section 106 review could limit local influence over projects near historic resources; she urged colleagues to read forum materials and contact representatives.
Chair Debbie Davis told the Commission she attended a preservation forum in Minneapolis and said materials from state and national preservation organizations indicate risks to Section 106 federal review. "It could really put, any item that is of historic preservation status, in jeopardy," she said, urging commissioners to "read up on it" and contact their representatives about the issue.
Davis framed the topic as an urgent policy-development concern for preservation bodies: she said forum conversations included state and national briefings and that changes to federal review could reduce local and state influence over projects that might damage historic properties. The Commission did not take a formal vote; Chair Davis said staff would circulate more material for members to review before future meetings.
