Historic Preservation Commission seeks to fill two vacancies

You can make a difference in our community by applying to fill one of two vacancies on the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). One opening must be filled by a candidate who resides in the town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The other seat is open to anyone who lives in Wake Forest or its ETJ.

Professionals with historic preservation expertise are especially encouraged to apply. 

The online advisory board application is available through Monday, Feb. 28, at http://bit.ly/TOWFAdvBoardApplication. Anyone without access to a computer is invited to complete the application by using a computer kiosk in the lobby of Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St. Hard copies are available upon request by contacting Executive Assistant Cathi Pope at 919-435-9467 or [email protected].  

Candidates will be expected to attend the March 9 HPC meeting to introduce themselves to current members and explain why they wish to serve. Following the interviews, the HPC will review its slate of candidates before submitting its recommendation to the BOC.

The selected applicants will volunteer for a three-year term and advise the Board of Commissioners on a variety of topics related to historic preservation. For more information, contact Cathi Pope at 919-435-9467 or [email protected].
