6/1/2026 Landmarks Commission Meeting

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County & Kansas City, Kansas Landmarks Commission held a meeting on June 1, 2026. The commission approved the minutes from the April 4, 2026 meeting and discussed a nomination for the Grinter Chapel and Cemetery to be listed on the Kansas Historic Sites Board. The commission voted 3-0 with one abstention to support the nomination, which could make the site eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits. Additionally, updates were provided on ongoing state law administrative reviews, certificates of appropriateness, and upcoming cases including a demolition review for a property at 625 Minnesota Avenue. The commission also announced the selection of a consultant for developing downtown historic district guidelines, funded by state historic preservation funds at no cost to the government. Recruitment efforts for a planner with historic preservation experience were noted, along with plans for training webinars and commemorative projects related to local historic sites. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the support for historic site nominations and consultant selection indicates ongoing preservation-related procurement activity.
