07/20/26 Historic Preservation Commission Meeting

The City of Louisville, Colorado Historic Preservation Commission held a meeting on July 20, 2026, focusing primarily on historic preservation grant requests and alteration certificates for residential properties. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a $7,500 grant for a historic structure assessment at 1132 LFarge Avenue and a more substantial grant request of up to $128,300 for preservation, restoration, and structural work at 1013 LFarge Avenue. The commission approved the landmark designation, alteration certificate, and grant funding for 1013 LFarge Avenue, with conditions including restoration of certain historic window placements and the addition of a faux chimney to maintain historic character. The project involves significant foundation replacement, structural upgrades, and a temporary house move, with grant funding covering under 10.5% of the total project cost. The commission also discussed outreach strategies for the historic preservation program and upcoming events, including a senior services resource fair and farmers market participation. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting included motions and votes approving grant awards and alteration certificates tied to historic preservation funding.
