For 2020-2021, the City of Corpus Christi has
developed a new Historic Preservation Plan to guide

plan was to be presented to the City Council at its

In July 2020, Council approved the receipt of a grant
from the Texas Historical Commission to fund a new
Historic Preservation Plan, our first since 1992. In
my 6 years on the Landmark Commission I saw a
preservation movement grow and gain momentum
in front of my eyes. By the end of my time there in
2020, we'd received multiple grants from THC and
knew the Preservation Plan would be the next step
to move the city forward.
Even after I finished my term, I continued to be
involved with this plan, offering my knowledge and
comments, attending the 3 public meetings, and
sharing them with my network so more people
could be involved—and they were, in the
thousands. The plan confirms what we knew when
we started --that CC is decades behind other cities in
Historic Preservation, missing out on economic
development opportunities for businesses using
historic spaces, and losing these places to neglect in
the meantime.
I look forward to Council's approval of this plan in
coming weeks.

It has been brought to my attention the Historic
Preservation Plan was to be included in today's
agenda. It has also been brought to my attention
this was pulled from the agenda because some on
city staff believe we do not need a preservation
plan. I would think a plan for the preservation of
history in our city is imperative in this climate. The
Historic Preservation Plan has been developed,
written, drafted, reviewed and approved by the
Landmark Commission and the Planning
Commission throughout this year. Why would the
Council not discuss the approval of this plan?

Hello, I am writing to voice my support for the
Historic Preservation Plan. Corpus Christi is a
wonderful city and it deserves a plan that will
propel us to where we should be in terms of
preservation. Many people have worked very hard
on this plan for a long time and it is imperative that
we put this plan in place if we want to see Corpus
Christi succeed. I urge City Council to consider the
positive impact of this plan for our city. Thank you.

My name is Jessica Holt. I am the Assistant Director
at the Art Museum of South Texas and also run the
instagram account @PreserveCCTX. I have an MFA
in Historic Preservation from SCAD and am fluent in
the many cultural, social, economic, and
environmental benefits that come along with an
investment in Preservation. I also understand that a
city's support of Preservation is crucial to its
success. I read the full Historic Preservation Plan
and support the goals and strategies presented. The
steps are action -oriented, feasible, and backed by
valid research. Implementing this plan will generate
money for local businesses, attractions, hotels, the
wedding industry, and much more. A city that
invests in its history, not only grows, it thrives. I
have seen this first hand in Savannah, GA in
neighborhoods that were once abandoned and are
now hubs of cultural activity. Council Members, I
ask that you read the plan's goals, strategies, and
case studies, and consider supporting it. ThankYou

As a local history professor, resident of Corpus
Christi, and former member of the Landmark
Commission, I am writing in support of the
proposed Historic Preservation Plan for the City of
Corpus Christi. Historic preservation can stimulate
business development. It also enhances tourism by
giving visitors a better sense of the roots of the
place that they are visiting. Most importantly,
historic neighborhoods, structures, and sites are a
point of pride for a community's residents. In
Corpus Christi, we have a strong interest in the
history of our families and communities, yet our city
has lost so many of the structures that were part of
this rich history. This preservation plan would help
the city collaborate with diverse stakeholders to
carefully and responsibly preserve our city's
heritage before we have fewer and fewer
opportunities to do so. Because it is important that
we are proactive in this process, I urge you to adopt
this well-designed plan.
