PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles will have to wait until next month to find out if it will be the host of a historical district.
Snow caused a Governor’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation meeting scheduled for today to be canceled.
At the meeting, the advisory council was to consider approval of creating a historical district that would include the Clallam County Courthouse, the Museum at the Carnegie and Veterans Memorial Park, all on Lincoln Street.
City Councilwoman Cherie Kidd, who filed the application to the advisory council, said she was told that the meeting would be held sometime in March.
The designation would allow the city and county to apply for grants to preserve the buildings. It would also be a means to promote historical tourism.
Kidd said she was disappointed the meeting was canceled but agreed that it needed to be rescheduled.
“It’s like the night before Christmas and you’re telling me that Christmas is being postponed,” she said.
Kidd said she still feels “very confident” that the district will be approved.
She had planned to attend the meeting along with Councilman Max Mania, City Manager Kent Myers and Nathan West, city economic and community development director.
