Visionaries In Preservation Meeting March 4

The Texas Historical Commission’s (THC) Visionaries in Preservation program (VIP) is coming to Eastland. VIP is the community planning program of the THC. VIP asks residents how they want their community to look and feel and provides the necessary tools to help Eastland retain its identity and sense of place as it changes and grows.

Eastland’s VIP program will meet once a month for eight months, starting in February and ending in September. At the end of the program, Eastland will have a preservation action plan that will make historic buildings and other assets fundamental parts of continued economic and cultural growth.

Your participation is essential! Please join us for the VIP Town Meeting on Thursday, March 4, 2010, 6 P.M. at the Daugherty Street Church of Christ Fellowship Hall. At the meeting, the VIP process will be discussed and you will have the opportunity to define the issues and challenges the VIP preservation action plan will ultimately address. You will also be able to sign up for a task force to work on the issues of your choice throughout the process. Even if you could not make it last month, you can still sign up for a task force and help define the issues that will be addressed by this important group.
