Design team starts SHPO review process; memorialization options discussed
Summary
Design staff reported a State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) submission for eligibility is complete; next steps include a finding of effect and a memorandum of agreement that could require mitigation or memorialization measures, which the team will develop with the district and community.
The project’s historic‑preservation consultant submitted documentation to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to start the review, the presenter said, beginning the multi‑step process: determination of eligibility, finding of effect, and then development of a memorandum of agreement or other mitigation. Dan described examples—plaques, murals, repurposed materials and books—that other districts have used to memorialize historic elements.
The presenter explained that SHPO consultation does not automatically block a project but requires steps and opportunities for the district to propose mitigations and memorialization measures; the team estimated 3–6 months after a finding of effect to develop a memorandum of agreement.
