The public hearing held on Thursday, Jan. 8, at 5:30 p.m. went without any negative comments or discussion. Business owner Connie Cash had questions about the District expanding to cover more contributing structures. Downtown business owner and chairman of Main Street Harrison said he was excited for this commission and how it would help preserve the downtown historic district. Business owner Beverly DeWitt said she was very excited about the local control the Historic District Commission would have and to have answers for questions like "what kind of windows do I need." COO Wade Phillips explained that the Commission will be responsible for overseeing the process once everything has been approved.
If you are interested in purchasing or restoring historical buildings downtown, this information will be very valuable to you.
