ITEM SUMMARY:
· Beginning in 2008, the City of McKinney Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) established the “Preserve Historic McKinney - Home Recognition Program” to recognize property owners who have revitalized our historic residential community by making significant exterior improvements to their individual properties. This program is not a grant or funding program. It simply recognizes the outstanding efforts of individual property owners and seeks to encourage future individual reinvestment in the historic residential community.
· Between November 2011 and January 2012, McKinney residents were asked to identify and nominate residential properties that are located in the Historic Neighborhood Improvement Zone and that meet the general evaluation criteria outlined in the attached document.

o Russell D. & Allyson Mitchell - 501 Heard Street
