MEET THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION STAFF & SECTION 106 STAFF The Historic District Commission Staff members serve as support to the Commission. Staff duties include site visits to the districts, writing and presenting reports for monthly Commission meetings, assisting district residents with permit applications and design review. Other activities include writing articles for the The Fountain, developing the Commission's design guidelines and conducting educational seminars regarding the Commission and the State Historic Tax Credits. The Section 106 / Historical Review Staff reviews Federally funded projects in the City of Detroit. Section 106 is a Federally mandated review process designed to ensure that impacts on historic properties are considered during the planning and execution of Federally funded projects. Annually our staff reviews thousands of projects in an effort to identify projects that will impact historic properties and find ways to mitigate adverse impacts. To make information available to the public, the many photographs taken and reports written to document properties are submitted to both the State Archives of Michigan in Lansing and the Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library.
