The Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board (HALRB) advises the County Board on historic preservation matters. The HALRB nominates properties for local and national designation and also reviews plans for exterior alterations, demolition and new construction in locally designated Arlington historic districts through a Certificate of Appropriate (CoA) process.

The May Agenda for HALRB is now online. On the agenda are two (2) CoAs in the Maywood Historic District and one (1) in the Buckingham Village Historic District. In addition the HALRB has set aside 90 minutes for a “Work session with Arlington Public Schools staff on Stratford Junior High School.” A request was submitted by several Arlington residents to HALRB to consider a local historic district for Stratford Junior High School in recognition of the architecture but also the role the school and grounds played in the desegregation of Virginia public schools. Preservation Arlington highlighted the school in November 2013 as part of the Preserved & Developed Series.

The HALRB meeting will be held:
