This item concerns the Historic Preservation Board's review of materials used in the Mount Dora historic district. The board is considering a policy to prohibit the use of vinyl and aluminum siding, unpainted wood, exterior plywood systems, and glass block. This review is currently under consideration by the board. If approved, this could lead to requirements for specific types of building materials and finishes for properties within the historic district. This would create opportunities for contractors specializing in historic building materials, restoration, and appropriate exterior finishes. Early engagement with the board and property owners could provide insight into upcoming material specifications and potential project needs.
