Property owners in the City of Allentown’s West Park Historic District can get information about how to obtain assistance with maintaining and repairing their buildings at a public meeting next week.

The City of Allentown Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) is presenting an information session on Thursday, September 14 at 6pm in the Masonic Temple at 1524 W Linden Street. The presentation will have information about the history and significance of the historic district, as well as advice about whom to contact and the procedures required for making alterations to buildings in the historic district. There will also be information about funding and tax incentives which may be available for historic buildings.

The presentation is free of charge, but seating is limited. To register contact David Kimmerly, Chief Planner, City of Allentown at 610-437-7613, or email him at david.kimmerly@allentownpa.gov.

This is the last in a series of information sessions about HARB and the historic districts in Allentown. Property owners in Old Fairgrounds and Old Allentown were invited to informational meetings held earlier this summer.
