The Stockbridge City Council voted recently to approve two separate recommendations from the city’s Main Street program.
One is to move forward with a city branding initiative. A request for proposals will be issued to solicit qualified marketing firms and the initial budget is not to exceed $25,000.
The other action involved the approval of a historic preservation ordinance.
Among other things, it calls for the creation of a five-member historic preservation commission to maintain an inventory of city property and recommend to the City Council certain locations and structures to be designated as historic. The ordinance also sets guidelines for designating historic districts and properties, requires a certificate of appropriateness for any change in appearance to a designated historic property, and addresses code provisions for the maintenance of historic properties.
