About
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was established in 1981 and is composed of 7 citizens appointed by the Mayor. The HPC provides the following services:
Landmark and Historic District Nominations
- The HPC makes recommendations to the City Council on preservation matters, including Landmark and Historic District nominations. To nominate a property or district, click here to print and fill out our Landmark Nomination Form. Upon completion, you can drop off the form at the City of Blue Island’s Building Department: 13051 Greenwood Ave, Blue Island, IL 60406. Once a property is landmarked, the property owner needs to fill out an Owner Consent Form as well.
Certificate of Appropriateness
- The HPC issues owners of landmark properties a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for any exterior alteration or construction visible from the street or the public way, all requiring a building permit from the City.
