Who We Are
The HDC is governed by the Michigan Local Historic Districts Act (PA 169 of 1970) in conjunction with Section 38 of the Portage Code of Ordinances. For more information on specific treatment or project guidelines, see the National Park Service’s Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines at www.nps.gov/tps/standards.htm.
What We Do
This nine-member commission is charged with reviewing plans and applications for the construction, alteration, repair of historic properties. In addition, the commission maintains the roster of established and potential districts, may initiate district modification procedures and reviews proposed exterior changes to properties within the Portage Historic District. Our Community Engagement subcommittee plans various events to encourage public viewing and appreciation of historic structures.
