Historic Preservation Commission Meetings

Historic preservation plays a vital role in maintaining Jackson’s unique character. It ensures that new construction and rehabilitation projects are compatible with existing neighborhood styles and quality standards. The Historic Preservation Ordinance was first adopted in 1988 and has been amended over time to guide:

Rehabilitation of historic structures

New development within historic districts

Alterations to cultural, architectural, and archaeological properties

Protection of local and state landmarks, as well as sites listed on the National Register of Historic Properties

Local historic districts were created with the agreement of property owners, recognizing the long-term benefits to their communities.
