- Examples of Local Landmark Forms & Nominations 
- Helpful Resources and Tips 

Janet Jeffries asked Kelli Bacon about the Local and National Landmark process. Bacon explained that they are separate processes and should be on separate forms. 

Jeffries asked if the commission votes to do let someone do something to a National Register property if the commission can call Bacon to ask her to review the application.
