Historic Preservation Public Meeting: Wednesday, December 21, 2022 Via Zoom or in person at 4:15pm

The City of Hoquiam and Historic Preservation Commission has contracted with Northwest Vernacular, Inc., to conduct a third phase in the reconnaissance-level historic property survey of the Karr’s Hill area. The City received a grant from the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation to conduct this survey.

A reconnaissance-level survey documents properties that are 50 years old or older and only records information observable from the public right-of-way (building type, physical description, and architectural style). Northwest Vernacular will present at overview of what is involved in a reconnaissance-level survey at a public meeting on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 4:15pm.

Northwest Vernacular will be conducting field work in January or February of 2023 from the public right-of-way, with the specific dates to be weather dependent. A second public meeting will be conducted later in the year when the survey is completed to present findings.

Please attend this meeting if you want to learn more about the Karr’s Hill area and with any questions you may have about historic property surveys and historic preservation activities in the city of Hoquiam.

If you have any
questions about this process, please contact Angie Bieker, Community Development Technician via email or 360.538.3984. Your questions or comments should be received by 10:00 am 12/21/22.

Meeting will be open to the public as well as available by following this zoom link.
