The Henry County Historic Preservation Commission met Wednesday, January 21, 2025 at the Henry County Heritage Center.
Commissioners in attendance included Chad Brousseau, Joel Garretson, Caroline Lehman, Jeff McPheron, and Judy Rawson. Also attending were Nancy Amos, Peggy Waters, and Cathy McCoy, who have expressed interest in joining the commission.
During the meeting, commissioners approved the minutes, agenda, and treasurer’s report. Members also discussed progress on the Henry County historic guidebook, with the goal of completing the project by this summer.
The commission reviewed its accomplishments from 2025 and set new goals for 2026 as part of its annual Certified Local Government (CLG) report. The CLG report is due in February and will be submitted to the Henry County Board of Supervisors for review and approval ahead of the March deadline.
Commissioners also noted that several terms were scheduled to expire in 2025. Those members will remain seated during the onboarding of new commissioners and until the historic guidebook project is completed.
The update was submitted by Commission Chair Joel Garretson.
