Weatherford commission reviews new historic‑preservation webpage; staff to make edits
Summary
Monica walked the commission through a refreshed Weatherford historic preservation webpage that centralizes resources, a photo slideshow and links to landmark designations; staff will rearrange navigation and add historical context before public posting.
Monica, a staff presenter, showed the commission a refreshed Historic Preservation page for Weatherford and said the site will be live after clerical edits. "So today, I'm I'm just gonna be going over the new historic preservation page," she told members during a live walkthrough.
The page includes a main landing section, a slideshow of historic photos (still being scanned), and left‑side navigation links to Weatherford's history, historic sites and a certificate of appropriateness page. Monica said she will send the commission the link once it's formally posted and asked members to provide suggestions. "I will send everyone the link to this once it's formally posted, and then y'all can just give me feedback from there," she said.
Commissioners praised the site's appearance and suggested editorial changes: put 'local historic landmarks' higher in the navigation so benefits are emphasized before procedural steps, weave short biographies of notable local figures into the history narrative, and consider examples of noteworthy homes on the site without disclosing addresses. Monica agreed to make the changes and check whether staff may link to county partner organizations.
