Mission city leaders discussing replacing historic preservation commission
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Mission city leaders are considering reviving the historic preservation commission by repealing its existing ordinance. During a workshop on Tuesday, council members agreed to discuss replacing the commission with a new appointed committee at the next city council meeting. The current commission has not met in three years and has failed to enforce preservation standards for historic buildings. Mayor Norie Gonzalez Garza emphasized the need for compliance with city regulations. Local preservationist Gabriel Ozuna expressed concerns about the risks to historic sites, as Mission holds 10 of the 23 historically listed properties in Hidalgo County, including La Lomita Chapel and the Border Theater.
