This workshop is a broad look at the chronology and process for designating historic resources – from surveys to nomination.  It will be an invaluable workshop for planners, architectural historians, commissioners and local advocates interested in updating and expanding the list of designated landmarks and historic districts in California communities.  The workshop will conclude with a “mock” survey and identification of contributing/non-contributing resources in downtown Ventura.
