Independence Historic Preservation Design Guidelines

The City of Independence, Missouri, is seeking to update its historic preservation design guidelines. The current guidelines were last updated in 2011 and are text-heavy. The city wants to produce a more streamlined, user-friendly document that relies more on illustrations and graphics to convey appropriate treatments. The final document will be made available on the city's website for reference. The contract was awarded to H 3 Studio, Inc. • The city has one local historic district and 27 individually-listed historic local landmarks. • The Historic Preservation Division, under the Community Development Department, utilizes design guidelines to provide direction to historic property owners. • The deadline for questions was February 1, 2024, and responses must be submitted online via www.publicpurchase.com. • The city intends to award a contract to H 3 Studio, Inc.
