City Council Moves Meetings to New Civic Center Starting August

The Historic Preservation Commission of Las Vegas is set to relocate its meetings to the Civic Center starting in August, a move that promises to enhance accessibility and engagement for community members. During the recent meeting, officials shared details about the new venue, including directions and parking options, ensuring that residents can easily find their way to the updated meeting space.

The Civic Center will offer a more intimate setting, allowing attendees to connect more closely with one another. The new meeting room is located on the second floor, accessible via stairs or an elevator, with staff available to assist attendees during the transition. The commission emphasized that the new space is designed to foster better interaction among participants, moving away from the more distant arrangements of previous venues.

In addition to the venue change, the commission discussed the upcoming virtual short course offered by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions. This course will provide valuable insights into historic preservation, and participants will have the flexibility to view the content at their convenience if they cannot attend live.

A question was raised regarding the availability of expanded handicap parking at the new location. While the commission did not have immediate answers, they committed to following up with the appropriate city agency to provide clarity on this important accessibility issue.

As the commission prepares for this transition, they are optimistic that the new Civic Center will enhance the overall experience for residents engaged in historic preservation efforts. The meeting concluded with a focus on the importance of community involvement in preserving the rich history of Las Vegas.
