This item concerns proposed guidelines for shutter materials and design for historic buildings in Mount Dora. The guidelines suggest using wood or composite materials, protected by paint. New shutter designs should follow historical records when possible, or be appropriate to the building's historical period and style if records are absent. This agenda item is currently under review by the Historic Preservation Board. If approved, the project would involve the selection and installation of historically appropriate shutters on various historic structures. This could create opportunities for contractors specializing in carpentry, painting, and exterior building restoration, as well as suppliers of wood, composite materials, and paint. Engaging with the board early could provide insight into specific project needs before formal bids are released.
