2026 July 27 Lafayette Historic Preservation Commission

The City of Lafayette Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on July 27, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve the demolition of a utility structure at 800 Cincinnati Street associated with St. James Church. The structure was deemed a safety concern due to deterioration and was excluded from a previous historic preservation grant. The commission approved the demolition and waived the typical 60-day waiting period, noting the structure's limited historic value and separation from the main school building. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed. The commission also briefly addressed scheduling for future meetings and adjourned without further public comments.
