Historic properties within City of Aiken being surveyed by preservation company.
Local historic properties within the City of Aiken are being examined for a historic resources survey.
The survey is being conducted by The Jaeger Co, a historic preservation company based in Gainesville, Ga. The survey team is composed of architectural historian Brian LeBrie, field assistant Clarie Perko and Keyes Williamson, a historian.
The team began the field work this week and will continue through Nov. 28. If needed, a follow-up survey work will take place from January through February.
For the survey, the group plans to photograph and make a notation of historic properties within City limits. The survey will be conducted along public rights-of-way; however, in some instances, the team may need more access. In those cases, property owners will be contacted for permission to come onto the property.
If the property owner is not available, the survey team will leave a note on the front door of the building saying they were on the property. If a property is gated and the survey team cannot gain access, property owners will be contacted by a City official to make an appointment.
After the field work is complete, a public hearing will be held on its findings. According to City officials, the meeting will likely be held in January.
For more information, call City planner Susan French at 642-7608.
