The Primary Roles of the Greater Napanee Municipal Heritage Committee (GNMHC) are as follows: ▪ To identify heritage resources and evaluate their condition and community value; ▪ To recommend By-laws to establish processes for the conservation of heritage resources; ▪ To monitor, review, and take protective actions on a property-by-property or area-wide basis; and ▪ To undertake promotional programs to advise Greater Napanee Council and the public of the value of heritage resources, to encourage awareness, appreciation, involvement and participation in heritage conservation activities. The GNMHC presents its one-year plan that will be carried out in order to meet its roles and responsibilities. Task One Evaluation of 2010 Preliminary Inventory of Potential Sites to List on the Heritage Registry Using a preliminary heritage inventory, prepared in 2010 by an earlier heritage committee, the GNMHC will evaluate sites to be added to Greater Napanee’s heritage registry list. The preliminary inventory contains close to 400 sites that require visual inspection and research in consideration for heritage registry listing and potential future designation. Committee members will work from the 2010 inventory and other sources to identify sites of heritage value. The Town of Greater Napanee will send letters to the property owners informing them of the property’s heritage interest and value and therefore its addition to the heritage registry list. Task Two Include Rural Sites in Identification of Properties to be Listed Include sites in rural areas and hamlets outside of Napanee “town proper”. The GNMHC will identify several rural sites for listing. Again, the 2010 inventory will be used to initiate research.
