Gehrke newest member of Historic Preservation Commission

Miller Gehrke has been appointed to the Leland Historic Preservation Commission, after a recent unanimous decision by the City Board of Alderpersons. The Commission, created in 2000 as part of a broader City historic preservation ordinance, consists of up to nine volunteers who ensure the City’s historic resources are protected and promoted. The Commission works with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to implement appropriate historic preservation within the local historic district, prohibit inappropriate development and prevent loss of historic properties due to demolition or neglect.
