Spring 2012 Historic Preservation Commission Newsletter
The Brandon Historic Preservation Commission’s main role is planning and advocating for the protection and appreciation of Brandon’s historic and architecturally significant resources. Our primary tasks involve reviewing applications for certificates of appropriateness involving signage and facade changes within the Downtown Historic District. We also provide technical assistance, education and guidance as needed in planning and preserving all historic resources within Brandon. The HPC serves as an advisory commission to the Architectural Review Board and the Board of Aldermen.
