Historic Preservation Commission

The history of the City of Dalton and the surrounding region is rich with stories of Civil War battles, innovative leadership in industry and business, and many other noteworthy events. Historic landmarks do more than just tell the story of our community; landmarks also attract tourists and business to Dalton. Here, you can stand in the same places where historic events that shaped our state and our nation took place and in many cases still see the historic buildings and landmarks left behind. It's critical that we preserve our history as a City.

The City of Dalton's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was established by the Mayor and Council on December 18th, 1984.  The commission advises the City on issues related to the preservation of our historic sites and reviews plans for development or renovations of buildings in the historic districts of Dalton. The commission consists of seven members, all of whom must be residents of the City of Dalton and the majority of whom should have demonstrated special interest, experience, or education in history, architecture, or preservation of historic resources. Members serve a three year term after their appointment by the Mayor and Council. The HPC meets the second Thursday of each month at 9:00 AM. 

The HPC is comprised of John Hutcheson, Carolyn Roan, Cathy Snyder, Reed Fincher, Jeff Granillo, and Manuel Meza.
