Historic Landmark Commission
unveils new preservation plaque
Boerne's Historic Landmark
Commission (HLC) has un-
veiled a new plaque which will
be used to recognize special
achievement in historic preser-
vation and contemporary con-
tributions to enhance Boerne's
Historic District.
Members of the commission
will nominate and vote to
award the plaque when special
achievement is warranted for
renovations or remodeling
done to buildings in the Histor-
ical District.
"The Commissioners believe
it is the least we can do for
owners who have cooperated
with the city and the historic
commission to help keep
downtown Boerne a place we
can all be proud of," said
Phillip Bell, chairman of the
Historic Landmark Commis-
sion.
The plaque was designed in-
house by the City of Boerne.
The finished Seven-inch diame-
ter ceramic was made by Doug
Oian of Boerne's Sunrise Pot-
tery.
