The citizens who participated in this program encouraged Council to establish the Smithville Historic Preservation and Design Standards Advisory Committee (HPDS). One of its main tasks was to develop an application process and form for a City Historic Marker program that will showcase historic buildings, locations, events, and individuals. Residents may apply for the Marker, which the HPDS will review. HPDS will recommend action to City Council, which will determine whether to approve the marker and the reference to the historic and cultural asset on the Smithville Cultural District website. Applicants will be required to pay for the marker.
