Board of Architectural Review- May 20 2026

The City of Anderson Board of Architectural Review held a meeting on May 20, 2026, focusing primarily on architectural and signage approvals for various local projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of renovations and signage changes for the taxi building at the corner of Calhoun and North Main, including a request for historic tax credits and certification under the Bailey bill, which involves a tax relief program contingent on investment exceeding the property's fair market value. The board approved the project with an anticipated investment of $600,000, exceeding the $450,000 fair market value. Additionally, the board approved signage for ST Quality Electric and a new monument sign for Perks Car Wash, noting compliance with local sign ordinances and the use of solar lighting. Another project involved exterior renovations and repainting of a building at 1309 North Boulevard, which was unanimously approved. The meeting concluded with discussions about board membership and upcoming appointments. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the approvals support ongoing capital improvements and potential historic tax credit applications.
