Historic design and signage standards are crucial to helping preserve the unique character and identity of our historic areas. Our buildings are cultural assets that show who we are, and who we've been. Having 100+ year old buildings with rich architectural detail that hold generations of stories is a privilege and a responsibility.  By setting guidelines for architecture, signage, and other design elements, our community ensures that new developments and renovations help preserve our shared history and identity. This not only helps to maintain the charm and authenticity of our downtown, but also attracts tourists and visitors who are drawn to the historic architecture and ambiance. 

Providing resources and support for historic design and signage allows local businesses and property owners to access the guidance and expertise needed to create visually cohesive and attractive buildings that ultimately contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of the downtown.
