PRESERVATION OFFICE MEETING SET

The Oklahoma Historical Society’s State Historic Preservation Office will hold a public meeting at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 16 to provide information about the National Historic Preservation Act and how it supports statewide preservation, and receive public input on its fiscal year 2017 Historic Preservation Fund application to the U.S. Department of the Interior. The meeting will be in the Oklahoma History Center classroom, 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, just northeast of the state Capitol.
