The City of Fresno’s Historic Preservation Ordinance was approved by the City Council in 1979 and revised in 1999. The City was also the first in California designated as a Preserve America Community by (former) First Lady Laura Bush.
The intent of the Ordinance is “to preserve, promote and improve the historic resources and districts of the City of Fresno for educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public….” The Ordinance also recognizes that historic preservation helps “to establish, stabilize and improve property values and to foster economic development.” (Section 12-1600, Historic Preservation Ordinance).

We live in the midst of a city of art, music, and history. Living here all my life, I forget that Fresno is rich in history. I need to take the time to investigate it. Looking for something to do tonight. Take some time and check out the meeting of the Historic Preservation Committee:)
