Public meeting held on parts of New Albany becoming a historic district
SUMMARY: New Albany may soon have an expanded designated historical district. Representatives from the Mississippi Archives and History visited to explain the potential impact. The downtown area is already historic, and areas like the William Faulkner birthplace may soon be included. A recent meeting informed city leaders, business owners, and homeowners that the expansion could include North and South neighborhoods feeding into downtown. Community Development Director Jean Stoud highlighted benefits like increased tourism, higher property values, and property protection. The designation is still in the nomination phase and aims to honor and protect the area's historical significance, not impose restrictions. Concerns and questions were addressed at the meeting.
