From the introduction: "The Historic Downtown Moberly Design Guidelines are a Missouri State Historic Preservation Office (MSHPO) grant funded project carried out by the City of Moberly. The goal of the project is to provide a useful guide regarding the locally designated historic downtown district and its properties. The document deploys a holistic design approach for downtown revitalization. It sets guidelines, gives useful suggestions, and displays best practices for value added historic rehabilitation, design solutions, and functional improvements to all public and private properties as well as the public right of way. The guidelines contain the knowledge, research material, references, and experience accumulated by the project team regarding this historic district. This information is directly applied to the specific conditions found in Historic Downtown Moberly and address the desire by the City of Moberly to generate a more clear and useful guide for, primarily, the historic rehabilitation of building facades, and secondarily, strategies for vacant lots and constructions. Firstly, this document is geared toward property owners and businesses located in the historic downtown district who have plans or are making pans to perform work on their building facades. Secondly, it serves as a strategic guide for prospective developers who wish to construct new buildings or make other changes to vacant lots within the district. And lastly, the document gives useful visionary ideas for local organizations and city government officials in the revitalization efforts to public properties, spaces, infrastructure, and a variety of other urban conditions." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior (grant number P17AF00060).
