DISCUSSION: REGIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION SUMMIT CONCEPT Resulting from the Deschutes County/City of Sisters HLC interest in historic preservation efforts in other communities, the concept of a regional historic preservation summit has emerged. The summit could take on many forms but the initial concept is to dedicate time to bring all of the regional HLCs together, along with stakeholders and interested parties, to provide a forum to discuss and share ideas. The programing could also include such things as presentations, trainings, and tours. Funding for the summit could be requested as part of the upcoming CLG grant application and could also inform other CLG projects. The purpose of this agenda item is to gauge the HLCs interest and provide feedback. ATTACHMENTS:  Staff Report FILE 247-16-000664-HS  CLG Grant Review Summary  11/2/16 CLG Workshop Agenda
