Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The Historic Preservation Board of the City of DeLand is reviewing standards for alterations to historic structures. These standards will guide work on designated landmarks or contributing structures within locally designated historic districts. The proposed guidelines are based on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, focusing on preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction. The review is currently planned, indicating an early stage in the process. This review will establish rules for future projects, potentially involving site assessments, material repair or replacement, and new construction that must be compatible with existing historic features. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers specializing in historic preservation, restoration, and construction trades may find opportunities as these standards are finalized and applied to future projects. Engaging early could provide insight into upcoming project requirements and timelines.
