WHAT'S NEW

There is a great deal of misinformation circulating about the proposed amendments to Houston's historic preservation ordinance. GHPA addressed these misrepresentations in a guest editorial by Executive Director Ramona Davis published in the Aug. 15 Houston Chronicle, which is reprinted here.

It is important for preservation supporters to understand what the ordinance does and does not do, and to share this information with other Houstonians.

A great deal of misinformation is circulating about what the proposed amendments to Houston’s historic preservation ordinance will and will not do. Greater Houston Preservation Alliance is determined to clear up those misrepresentations:

The City of Houston Planning & Development Department has posted the proposed amendments to the historic preservation ordinance that were developed by the Mayor’s task force. If approved by City Council, the amendments will bring Houston’s ordinance in line with those of other major Texas cities. A series of public meetings has been scheduled from Tuesday, July 27 through Tuesday, August 10 to discuss the proposed amendments.
