2 BACKGROUND: On November 4, 1997, the State Historic Preservation Office notified Marvin (continued) Collins, Planning Director, and the Orange County Historic Preservation Commission that the Cedar Grove Rural Crossroads Historic District National Register nomination had been reviewed and approved (the SHPO-approved nomination is provided under separate cover as Attachment 4). A copy of that letter was also sent to the Chair of the Board of Commissioners (see Attachment 1). On November 25, the Historic Preservation Commission held a public information meeting at the Eno Presbyterian Church, in conjunction with its regular monthly meeting. The State Historic Preservation Office mailed notices to all property owners within the historic district, and the National Register Coordinator for the Division of Archives and History was present at the meeting to discuss the nomination and the National Register process. Following the presentation, the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Cedar Grove Rural Crossroads Historic District be submitted for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (see Attachment 3). NEXT STEPS IN THE NOMINATION PROCESS If BOCC approves the Historic Preservation Commission's recommendation on December 16, the Cedar Grove Rural Crossroads National Register nomination will proceed as follows: January 8, 1998 Nomination to be considered by National Register Advisory Committee (NRAC) at their meeting at the Museum of History in Raleigh. If approved by the NRAC, the nomination will be considered by the National Park Service and the Keeper of the National Register. If approved by the National Park Service, official listing on the National Register of Historic Places could occur in late March, 1998. A final recommendation form will be provided at the December 16 meeting for signature by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners, if the recommendation is approved. (A sample form is provided in Attachment 2.)
