Historic Preservation Program

The Town of Elizabeth is a Certified Local Government through History Colorado.  The program exists to protect the town’s architectural and cultural heritage by protecting  its historic resources and providing incentives for historic preservation.

 

A presentation by History Colorado on Tax Credits and Grants was held at the Historic Advisory Board meeting on Monday, July 17, 2023 and is available below. 

In 2022, the Historic Advisory Board and Town Staff created and distributed a survey to reevaluate how the Town's citizens and patrons felt about historic preservation.  The purpose was to ensure that the Town code reflected those thoughts on preservation.   A copy of the document is provided below:  Historic Preservation Survey Results 2022.  You may also contact the Community Development office for additional information.
