Historic Preservation Committee

The Augusta Historic Preservation Commission held its regular monthly meeting on July 24, 2026, to review several certificate of appropriateness (COA) applications related to historic district developments. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a new surface parking lot for an extended stay hotel at 1310A Walker Street, which was supported by prior zoning and planning commission approvals. The commission also approved new signage at 1006 Broad Street with a condition to obtain necessary permits, and approved construction of a new entrance driveway and brick fence at 2318 Walton Way, subject to compliance with engineering and historic preservation recommendations. Additionally, the commission approved window replacements at 710 Hickman Road with specific design conditions to maintain historic character. A demolition request for a deteriorated residence at 13 Telfair Street was approved following a judicial order. The meeting included motions passed unanimously on these procurement and development matters, with no new business or legal sessions required.
