Historic Preservation Board 6/4/2026

The Clay County Historic Preservation Board met on June 4, 2026, primarily discussing ongoing preservation efforts and historical marker projects within the county. Key procurement-related topics included concerns about incomplete preservation work at the Branding Cemetery in Gary's Ferry, where headstones have been removed and stored but not yet reinstalled, and the need for historical markers to recognize significant sites such as Gary's Ferry and St. Mary's Episcopal Church. The board also discussed the nomination process for recognizing individuals contributing to local historic preservation, establishing a procedure for submitting nominations and voting on them at future meetings. No specific contract awards or budget allocations were mentioned, but the discussion highlighted potential future procurement activities related to marker production and preservation projects.
