In a recent government meeting, the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission (HLPC) approved two Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) related to local properties. The first motion, COA 2024-032, was unanimously approved, although specific details regarding the project were not disclosed in the transcript.

The second item on the agenda involved a painting request for the Farmers Market, located at 107 Pearl Street, also known as the old hitch lot. The request, presented by Tory Huddleston, the Main Street Manager, sought to repaint the structure from its current green to a new color called \"Red Bliss.\" This change is significant due to a recent ordinance amendment that requires any exterior color changes that could impact the building's appearance to be reviewed by the HLPC.

The Farmers Market, now a 501(c)(3) organization, has maintained a close relationship with the city. The proposed repainting aims to address areas of chipping paint on the wood and metal portions of the building, while the brick elements will remain untouched, aside from the doors and trim.

After a brief discussion, the commission moved to approve COA 2024-033, adhering to the relevant ordinance criteria. The meeting concluded with both motions receiving unanimous support, reflecting the commission's commitment to preserving the aesthetic integrity of the community while allowing for necessary updates to local structures.
