## Summary

The Historic Preservation Commission will meet on January 17th at Town Hall to continue discussions about preserving Black Mountain's historic buildings. A key focus of the meeting will be reviewing and potentially adopting updated Design Principles and Standards, which outline guidelines for maintaining and repairing historic structures. These standards cover a wide range of building elements, from roofs and windows to storefronts and accessibility features.

A significant aspect of this meeting involves finalizing the updated Design Principles, so property owners and anyone interested in Black Mountain's historic character should pay close attention. The Commission will be considering specific details regarding acceptable materials and practices for various building components, ensuring that preservation efforts align with community values. Public input is welcome as the Commission works to balance historic integrity with modern needs and accessibility.

Previous discussions centered on material choices like wood, masonry, and paint, as well as addressing concerns about the condition of specific properties. The Commission will also be following up on investigations related to wayfinding signs and potential lead paint safety measures, demonstrating their commitment to both preserving the past and ensuring a safe community.
