The City of Walla Walla will host a meeting to inform the public about what it means to own property in a National Register Historic District, the district nomination process, and using Federal Income Tax Credits for qualified rehabilitation projects. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. on Jan. 23, 2020, in the Fulton Room, 54 E. Moore St. Light refreshments will be provided.
The City of Walla Walla was awarded a $17,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation last year. The grant provided funding to hire a consultant to prepare the nomination application. Painter Preservation was chosen as consultant and will lead the public meeting, which also will include a presentation from architect Stephen Day, owner and project lead for the Penrose Hotel at the former Odd Fellows Building on Spokane Street.
Those planning to attend the public meeting should email an RSVP to mshumake@wallawallawa.gov by 4 p.m. on Jan. 21, 2020.
