Wake Forest residents with a passion for history and preservation, listen up! The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is looking for individuals to step up and help shape the future of the town's historical landscape. If you live within Wake Forest town limits and have a knack for history, architectural history, or archaeology, this could be the perfect opportunity to get involved with your community.
The town has announced four vacancies on the HPC and is calling for professionals in related fields to apply. As reported by the official Wake Forest website, "Professionals with experience in historic preservation, history, architectural history, and/or archaeology are especially encouraged to apply." The commission is a key player in preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of Wake Forest, which means your expertise, could actively contribute to the town's narrative and conservation efforts.
Interested candidates should jump on this chance before the application window closes. The deadline to submit your online advisory board application is on Wednesday. For those without easy access to the internet, there's no need to worry. You can swing by Town Hall at 301 S. Brooks St, and use a computer kiosk available in the lobby to complete your application.
If you've got questions or need a tangible copy of the application form, Deputy Town Clerk Ella Dowtin is the go-to person. She can be reached at [email protected] for help or to field any questions you might have. As the Wake Forest website notes, "The online advisory board application is available through Wednesday Oct. 30."
