11-19-13 TY from Downtown Business Alliance to CouncilNovember 13, 2013
Dear City Council, Mayor and City Manager,
The Downtown Business Alliance would like to thank you for your
consideration and for amending the Historic Preservation Ordinance to be
100 percent voluntary. We believe that the Historic Preservation Commission
established with this ordinance will ensure the purpose and mission of the
Huntsville Main Street Program. We feel strongly that the educational
purpose of such a commission will educate the public as well as building
owners about the Main Street Program and the 88 block area the State of
Texas has designated as our Cultural District. The principles and preservation
ideals dedicated to enhancing the communities knowledge of history, culture
and the arts will be enhanced by the Historic Preservation Ordinance and our
re- dedication to the purpose of the Huntsville Main Street Program.
Sincerely,
Downtown Business Alliance
Laura Bruns, President
