Collierville's Building and Codes Division has recently appointed Sher Dunn as its new Chief Compliance Officer. With a rich tapestry of experience drawn from her professional history across various US states and abroad, Dunn is expected to bring a rejuvenating breath of fresh perspective to her role, concentrating particularly on the integrity of Collierville's Historic District. In a statement obtained by the Collierville town's official website, Dunn expressed her affinity for the town, "We loved the wide streets, cleanliness, and small-town charm of Collierville."
Having started her municipal career in Kentucky, Sher has navigated through the complexities of building permits and code compliance—an experience that positions her well to lead in her new position. It's a role that has her primarily preoccupied with the Historic District, renowned for its quaint aesthetic and cultural significance. The commission overseeing this district gathers on the fourth Thursday of each month, dedicated to upholding the stringent guidelines laid out by the town's ordinances—ordinances that, Sher Dunn—will now be vigilantly monitoring. According to the announcement, Sher's aim will be to maintain the district's charm, ensuring all developments and renovations are aligned with the town's historic ambiance.
Dunn's passion for historical preservation was clear when she emphasized to the town's official website that historical elements, once lost, are irreplaceable. This reverence for the past, coupled with her commitment to maintaining the town's charm, suggests she's well-equipped for the challenges her new position presents. The Historic District of Collierville goes beyond just the Town Square, encompassing surrounding neighborhoods that abide by the Historic District Ordinances.
The commission's meetings will be made sure to preserve, are open to the public, and can be found on the town's official meetings calendar.
