Anyone interested in learning more about the building design guidelines for Jefferson’s Main Street district is invited to a special meeting Monday.

Jefferson Matters: Main Street Program Director Peg Raney says they will be hosting a business after hours event highlighting the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’t’s’ for updating businesses in the Main Street district.

“We use the resources of Main Street Iowa, so they’re tied with those historic preservation ideas. So we presented those to the City Council and they were approved in January.”

The presentation will be led by City Administrator Mike Palmer and Building Inspector Nick Sorensen. Raney invites everyone to come.

“This is going to be a great opportunity for people that are involved in the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) grant because our architect will definitely be looking at these types of guidelines. But also just those that are looking at making some improvements.”

It will be at the Jefferson Elks Lodge starting with a social hour at 5:15pm with a cash bar and snacks, followed by the program at 5:45pm.
