Homeowner Preservation Handbook, McKinley Historic District

From introduction: "The Newton/North Newton Historic Preservation Commission was awarded a Historic Preservation Fund Grant from the Kansas Historical Society to prepare a handbook for the McKinley Residential Historic District. The Commission contracted with Davis Preservation to carry out the work. Christy Davis conducted a project kickoff meeting with the Commission on May 11, 2013. On June 11, 2013, Davis conducted a public meeting to collect input from property owners. Davis received additional input from staff members and the public through two additional meetings on July 20 and July 25, 2013. On these two dates, property owners were given the opportunity to schedule site visits to discuss funding opportunities and technical challenges for specific projects with City staff and Davis Preservation. The purposes of this document are as follows: 1. To guide choices that will ensure the long-term preservation of district homes. 2. To guide property owners through review processes under state preservation law (see Appendix B) and the historic tax credit program (see Appendix C). 3. To assist the Commission in the review process. In order to carry out these goals, this document includes a brief summary of the historic district, a list of district properties, a summary of permit processes, information about the local permit process and review under the state preservation law, and information about preservation-related funding." Project funding was provided in part by a 2012 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Newton (project number KS-12-007) administered by the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 20-12-41924) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Newton, Kansas is a Certified Local Government.
