Historic Preservation

Mission Statement

To designate, preserve, enhance and perpetuate those properties and improvements which reflect the historical, cultural, artistic, social, ethnic or other heritage of the nation, state, or community, or which may be representative of an architectural or engineering type inherently valuable for the study of a style, period, craftsmanship, method of construction, or use of indigenous materials.

The Aurora Preservation Commission was established by the Aurora City Council in 1979 to preserve properties that reflect Aurora’s historical, cultural, artistic, social, and ethnic heritage. Other services offered by the Commission for owners of Aurora’s designated historic properties include design review, technical assistance, professional preservation staff, architectural expertise, and rehabilitation resources.
