Check the status of your Legacy Business Registry application

We accept applications year-round.

We will contact you by email when we begin reviewing your application materials.

After you submit your application, we review it and help edit it. We process applications in groups of 5-10.

Then we send it to two commissions for approval:

1. Historic Preservation Commission (HPC)
