A Public Preservation Forum to Help Identify and Protect Sedalia’s Historic Landmarks

According to the City of Sedalia website, Sedalia became the newest "Certified Local Government" in the State of Missouri last month as announced by the National Park Service. A Certified Local Government is one that has been determined to have made a commitment to historic preservation. The City of Sedalia has designated a Sedalia Historic Preservation Commission.

With the certification in place, the Sedalia Historic Preservation Commission is responsible for creating an official Preservation Plan to be considered by the City Council for adoption. The public is being invited to participate in a Public Preservation Forum on Wednesday, July 20, beginning at 6:00pm. The meeting will take place in the City Council Chambers at the Sedalia Municipal Building, located at 200 South Osage Avenue.

The forum will include a brief presentation on the planning process, followed by ways to involve residents in collecting information about personal priorities and preferences in identifying and protecting Sedalia's local historic landmarks, properties, neighborhoods and districts.
