Historic Preservation Commission

Purpose

This commission is a voice for historic preservation through efforts on educational programs/events, supporting projects that enhance historical resources through access to grants, and maintaining an inventory of historic resources in Cedar Falls.  As a Certified Local Government, Cedar Falls’ Historic Preservation Commission implements the program requirements issued by the State of Iowa to maintain that status.

The Historic Preservation Commission was established by Section 2-343 of the City Code. The Historic Preservation Commission typically meets the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30pm at City Hall. All meetings are open to the public.
