Historic
Preservation Task Force
Pinellas
County enjoys a rich and diverse culture
and historic past. The historical, cultural
and aesthetic heritage is among its most
valued assets. Few urban areas today boast
such unique perspectives of the past and
it is critical to the future of our County
that we preserve and maintain significant
elements of its history.
Recently,
the Board of County Commissioners adopted
the creation of the Historic Preservation
Task Force to review, analyze and facilitate
the implementation of preservation policies
for historically significant structure,
neighborhoods, districts and improvements
throughout the County.
Comprised
of preservationists from all areas of
the County, the Task Force is charged
with preparing such policies and providing
input and advice to the County Commission
as to their implementation for effective
preservation. The Task Force serves in
an advisory role to the Board and is further
charged with evaluating the criteria for
such historic structures and places.
The
Task Force will not only look at structures
and buildings but places and communities
– the cultural fabric of our County –
for historical significance and preservation.
It is the intent of the Task Force to
include various lifestyles and cultural
diversity on which this County was founded
and has grown as a part of this initiative.
I
am honored to serve as Chair of the Task
Force and to be a part of perpetuating
the culture and history of our County
into future generations. The Task Force
welcomes input from all citizens and the
perspectives of those who can continue
to enhance the rich heritage of Pinellas
County.
Karen Williams Seel, Chair
