n/e corner of State St. and 2°d St. Dunn stated the next step would be to apply for a CLG
Grant for a Wind Shield Survey of the downtown buildings. This would be a more extensive

write the grant if the commission would like to move forward with this.

Preservation Commissions (NAPC'S)FORUM 2022 Conference, July 13-17, 2022, in
Cincinnati, Ohio. If the commission would like to apply for this grant, SHPO is usually good
