[Melvena Heisch]

HPRC Meeting/April 20, 2017

The Oklahoma Historic Preservation Review Committee's (HPRC) regular quarterly meeting will be held at 1:30pm on Thursday, April 20, 2017, in the Oklahoma Historical Society's LeRoy H. Fischer Boardroom, Oklahoma History Center (third floor), 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, Oklahoma City. The meeting is open to the public. The HPRC and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) encourage all interested parties to attend, and the meeting agenda is provided at http://www.okhistory.org/shpo/spevents.htm and http://www.okhistory.org/hprc.htm.

Following are the proposed nominations to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) included on the agenda (nomination forms available at the above websites):
a.         Harrison School, 212 W. Birch Avenue, Enid, Garfield County
b.         Ozark Trails-Indian Meridian Obelisk, Intersection of Logan Avenue and E. Washington
            Avenue, Langston, Logan County
c.         United States Post Office Purcell, 228 West Main Street, Purcell, McClain County

National Park Service regulations require that a qualified state review board (in Oklahoma, the HPRC) participate in the SHPO's programs. Under Oklahoma statutes, the Governor appoints the HPRC membership. During each meeting, the HPRC hears presentations on nominations to the NRHP from SHPO staff and consultants, receives comments from owners of properties proposed for nomination, listens to public comments and concerns, and formulates recommendations to the SHPO about whether or not a property should be nominated. Concerned citizens and preservation professionals are invited to participate in this important component of the statewide preservation program.

For further information about the HPRC and its meeting schedule, the NRHP, or other SHPO programs, call 405/521-6249 or visit us at http://www.okhistory.org/shpo/shpom.htm.
