2026-612 PH2 - Ad Valorem Part I 233 West University Ave (B)
This item concerns a historic preservation review for a property located at 233 West University Avenue. The review is part of the Ad Valorem process, specifically Part I. This project is currently under review by the Historic Preservation Board. The scope of work would likely involve exterior renovations or alterations to the existing structure, potentially including repairs, restoration, or modifications that require historic preservation board approval. Businesses involved in historic building materials, specialized restoration trades, and general contracting with historic property experience may find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows contractors to understand project requirements and potentially influence specifications before final plans and permits are issued.
