City picks a firm to update Terre Haute's 46-year-old historic buildings survey
Who it touches: If you own an older building and might want to apply for the city's historic facade grant, this updated survey could change what counts as eligible.
The city has selected engineering firm Clark Dietz to redo Terre Haute's historic-resources survey, which hasn't been updated since 1980; the mayor said the contract still needs to clear the Board of Public Works and Safety.
Because so many buildings haven't been reassessed in the 46 years since, the Redevelopment Commission has been waiving historic-eligibility rules for the city's expanded facade grant program, and the new survey is meant to close that gap.
