Vancouver, WA – The Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and Downtown Camas Association will host a presentation Tuesday, Jan. 26, about the Clark County historic preservation program.

The event will be 6-7 p.m. at the library, 625 N.E. 4th Ave., Camas.

Jacqui Kamp, the county’s historic preservation officer, will talk about the program, including how residents can register their property, advantages to registering, and an overview of the registered historical sites in the Camas-Washougal area.

Also, Leonard Felix, owner of Camas’ American Legion Hall Post #27, will speak about his experience with the program and using the Special Valuation tax incentives for rehabilitating the building. The hall is on the Clark County Heritage Register.

The Clark County Historic Preservation Commission raises awareness of cultural resources and services as the county’s primary resource on historic preservation. The commission maintains the county’s Heritage Register and reviews proposed design changes to registered historical properties.
