From introduction: "The Town of Waynesville created the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to perform the duties of designating historic landmarks and ensuring their preservation. The Waynesville HPC has assisted property owners on a voluntary basis with historic preservation of locally designated landmarks. Interest began in 2011 to develop Design Guidelines for all historic properties in Waynesville’s National Register Historic Districts and/or new locally designated overlay historic district. The guidelines serve to assist property owners with specific criteria for appropriate rehabilitation work, new construction, and demolition. Design guidelines also provide recommendations for proper maintenance of their properties. The benefits of following design guidelines include stabilizing and increasing property values and improving the livability of historic areas. Design guidelines help explain the how and why of preservation and maintenance. Preserving the essential character of historic properties is achieved through these standardized methods." Funding was provided in part by a 2012 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Town of Waynesville (project number NC-12-014) administered by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 37-12-41940) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Waynesville, North Carolina is a Certified Local Government.
