A county Historic Overlay Committee will hold a third, open house this week related to historic preservation planning.

The public discussion is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, at Union Grove Campground (301 Amen Drive, Building 400, in Cleveland).

The committee is studying the creation of a “historic overlay” that could be applied to the county’s existing land-use map. The overlay and other potential recommendation would be designed to ensure that a property’s historical assets are taken into account, for example, when changes to zoning or structures are proposed.

The committee hopes new faces will be present, as the group aims to reach diverse stakeholders for feedback before ultimately presenting recommendations to county commissioners.

The committee encourages all residents, land owners and business leaders to attend, ask questions and share their thoughts about how to address the issue.
