NEW POST: Politics of Historic Preservation

I continue to promote voluntary agreement by property owners to participate in historic designation as the wise choice for Winter Park.

As we consider the current and initially proposed Historic Preservation ordinance along with the Historic Preservation Board and the City Commission, I thought it useful to explore some of the background of how we got to today.
