MARCH HAPPINESS




HISTORIC PRESERVATION

WE NEED YOU!

The designation of historic resources allows the city to formally recognize and protect significant elements of Amity history.  In order to afford protection of the most important structures and sites, the city adopted a historic preservation ordinance establishing regulations and procedures for the alteration or demolition of such resources.  The Amity Historic Landmarks Committee consists of five (5) members.  One of these members can be you!  Contact The City of Amity at 503-835-3711 for more information.
