Historic landmarks commission adopts annual report showing 36 items reviewed last year

The Charles Town Historic Landmarks Commission voted to adopt its annual report for the prior fiscal year after a staff presentation summarizing the year’s work.

James told the commission the office reviewed 36 items during the year: 33 approvals, 1 denial and 2 withdrawals. The portfolio included nine sign projects, eight new-construction reviews, eight grant requests and eight maintenance/replacement or alteration items. He said a condensed report was filed with the state historic preservation office and noted training credits were available by watching recorded CLG sessions.

Commissioners had no substantive edits and voted to adopt the report by voice vote. The adopted report will support the commission’s audit and helps document training and activity levels required by the state program.
