The city of Ames’ Historic Preservation Commission is seeking nominations for its 2017 Preservation Awards Program.

The structural work or other notable contributions for which an award is given must have been completed within the last three years.

Projects that are substantially complete may also be recognized if completion is scheduled to occur by May 2017.

To make a nomination, applications are available from the Department of Planning and Housing, 515 Clark Ave., or under “What’s New” on the Planning Division page at www.cityofames.org.
