Board Profile
The Historic Preservation Commission monitors and encourages historic preservation in the community and recommends structures, sites, and buildings for local landmark designation. The Commission is also responsible for completing historic surveys of Cape Girardeau and educating the public on historic preservation. Currently, Cape Girardeau has 29 National Register Landmarks, 7 National Register Districts, 18 local landmarks, and 1 Local Historic District.
The purpose of the Commission is to promote the protection and enhancement of buildings, structures or land improvements of special historic, aesthetic or architectural significance which are required in the interest of promoting the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the city. The Historic Preservation Commission shall establish and maintain a survey and inventory of historic properties in accordance with standards and guidelines established by the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards and Guidelines for Historic Preservation" [36 CFR Part 61]. The survey will be compatible with Missouri's statewide historical preservation comprehensive planning process. In establishing the foregoing information, the preservation commission shall place particular emphasis upon evaluating and incorporating the findings of studies and surveys already completed.
The Cape Girardeau Historic Preservation Commission consists of nine members, plus ex-officio members, all of whom are appointed by and approved by the City Council, and serve three year terms. The Council makes every effort to appoint persons with a demonstrated interest in the historical preservation of the city. To the extent available, the Preservation Commission shall include professional members representing such disciplines as architecture, law, real estate, history or any other field related to historic preservation. There is also the position of Town Crier for the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to announce events and to maintain the historical and cultural heritage of the city. The town crier is an ex-officio member of the Historic Preservation Commission, also serving a three year term.
