V. National Register of Historic Places and the State Master File List (Comprehensive

Commissioners - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

Jackson County is reviewing a proposal that involves managing historically and archaeologically significant sites within the county. The county plans to continue consulting the Florida Master Site File before any development approval to identify important resources. They will also maintain and update their own inventory of such sites. Until new preservation plans are ready, historical sites will be protected if they are listed on the Florida Master Site File or the National Register of Historic Places. A representative from the Florida Master Site File indicated no previously recorded cultural resources were found on the specific parcel under review. This item is currently under review, with planning staff recommending approval. The project scope involves ongoing consultation, inventory updates, and protection measures for historical resources, which could lead to future site development requiring compliance with these preservation policies. Contractors and service providers specializing in historical preservation, environmental consulting, and site development compliance could find opportunities as this policy is implemented and future projects are reviewed.
