| Public hearing on
Proposed historic districtThe following simulated public hearing represents typical comments and concerns of residents regarding a proposed regulatory historic district with a historic district commission empowered to review changes to properties within the district boundary. Speakers present diverse perspectives on this issue.Nipsy More, City resident and business owner: "Businesses in the downtown are suffering. What we don't need is the government putting more rules on us property owners to make it harder and harder to keep up with our business needs. I am opposed to this further restriction on property rights and hope you will vote down this proposal."Clara Story, local historian: "One of the best amenities of the city of Rivertown is its collection of downtown historic buildings. It is important to the city's heritage to keep this area intact. A lot of work went into preparing the Study Report, and Council members should follow the recommendation of the committee."
