Historic Preservation Plan Wednesday, March 4 Do you own a historic home and want to know what kind of benefits you’re eligible for? Or what hoops the city will make you jump through if you decide to demolish it? Or, on the flipside, do you reside in a historic district and don’t want to see your block’s historic gem get razed to make way for an apartment complex? You should attend the next meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission along with planning guru Robin Zeigler where you can comment on the latest draft of the city’s Historic Preservation Plan. While the plan’s been in the works for more than two years, it’s not too late for you to throw your 2 cents in. Salt Lake City & County Building, 451 S. State, Suite 315, March 4, 5:45 p.m., 801-535-7757. For an online look at the plan, visit SLCGov.com.
