TEx. s <br /> HISTORICAL <br /> <br /> COMMISSION <br /> <br />The State Agency for Historic Preservation <br /> <br /> RICK PE1LRY, GOVEILNOR <br /> <br /> JOHN L. NAU, 111, C~IAIILMAN <br /> <br />F. LAWERENCE OAKS, EX~CUT~rE DIRECTOR <br /> <br />January21,2004 <br /> <br />Michael E. Mallone <br />City Manager <br />50 W. Hickory Street <br />Paris, TX 75460 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Mallone, <br />The Texas Main Street Program had an exciting year in 2003. For the first time in over 20 years, we are offering <br />architectural and design assistance to every Main Street City in the state. The Main Street Graduate Assistance <br />Program was funded last spring by the Texas, legislature and we began in September, 2003. Renowned Texas <br />preservation architect, Wayne Bell, F~, has returned to the Texas Historical Commission (THC) after a 30-year <br />absence to lead this new program. In his former affiliation (1968-72) with the agency he directed the newly formed <br />National Register Program in Texas. Then from the THC he went to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department where he <br />served as chief of the Historic Sites and Restoration Branch, also a newly organized program for that department. <br />From there, he rejoined The University of Texas School of Axchiteeture, serving as director of the Graduate Program <br />in Historic Preservation, retiring in 1995. <br /> Once again, the City of Paris becomes eligible to participate in the Main Street graduate city program. Although Par~s <br /> has made great strides in revitalizing its downtown, the continuation of a full-time downtowu management program xs <br /> essential in maintaining and enhancing this progress. We continue to offer a wide range of services to our graduate <br /> Main Street cities, including strategic planning facilitation, board training and development, economic development <br /> assistance, merchandising and interior space planning and an active network of downtown professionals that includes <br /> cities from all across the state. We have an impressive record in maintaining graduate city status fin the statewide <br /> program. Currently, we have 59 graduate cities. Paris's continued progress and success in downtown revitalization is <br /> a top priority for the Texas Main Street Program. We hope that Pards will take advantage of this unique opportunity. <br /> Enclosed are two copies of the Letter of Agreement between the city of paris and the Texas Main Street Program of <br /> the Texas Historical comrmssion- This Letter of Agreement represents your commitment to participate as a graduate <br /> Main Street City for 2004. Please sign and return both eopiea of the agreement to the Main Street office (one copy <br /> will be returned for your file when signatures are complete). <br /> Also enclosed is an invoice for this participation. Please process this invoice for payment at your earliest convenience. <br /> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 512/463-5758. ; <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />;7~ ~/L~// ;~'n-2 <br />KlM McKnight, State ~Coord~ at r <br />Texas Main Street Program <br />Community Heritage Development Division <br /> <br />cc: Paris Main Street Manager <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />P.O.
