Springdale Historic Preservation Commission · November 13, 2025

Summary

Staff told the commission they have solicited stonemason proposals, ordered a National Register plaque and secured partial funding from Rocky Mountain Power for a Pioneer Cemetery monument; jail landscaping ideas are being pursued and staff are contacting the state about safety work.

Staff reported the Pioneer Cemetery monument is progressing: stonemasons have been contacted for proposals, spelling and plaque text have been verified, and the commission has secured partial funding from a Rocky Mountain Power grant to pay for part of the monument and plaque. "We've secured funding from a grant from Rocky Mountain Power which will pay partially pay for this monument," staff said, and Corey Jensen has prepared the plaque text drawn from cemetery history for the National Register plaque.

Commissioners also received a brief update on landscaping at the town jail.

Both projects remain in design and funding phases; staff said they will return with proposals and any required contractor quotes.
