Conservation Conversation: Designating Meridian-Kessler
Historic designation is a legal process that identifies an area as historically significant. It creates guidelines for development demolition and land use. In Meridian Kessler, the IHPC is considering how a set of very limited guidelines could protect the neighborhood’s overall historical character and benefit neighborhood residents. Your feedback will help guide future conversations about the historic designation of MK.
