New Resource Helps Venice Property Owners Pursue Preservation


Venice homeowners seeking to preserve their historic properties for future generations have a new resource. The Venice Historic Preservation Board has created the first property owners toolkit with a consumer-friendly guide to the city’s Local Register of Historic Places and how residents can list and protect their homes or commercial buildings.
 
Residents can request the packet by contacting the Venice Department of Historic Resources at museum@venicefl.gov or 941-486-2487 or download a copy of it at https://www.venicegov.com/government/historic-preservation-in-venice. Historic Preservation Board members are also available to answer any questions residents have about the local historic register and preservation efforts at HistoricPreservationBoard@venicefl.gov.
