    October 2, 2018 Florida Division of Historical Resources State Historic Preservation Officer R.A. Gray Building 500 S. Bronough Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250 RE: Nomination of the Cycadia Cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places Dear State Historic Preservation Officer, The City of Tarpon Springs is a Certified Local Government. As such, the City is committed to an ongoing effort to preserve and protect its historical resources and cultural heritage. To that end, as Mayor of the City of Tarpon Springs, and on behalf of the Board of Commissioners and citizens, we enthusiastically support the nomination of the Cycadia Cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places. The Cycadia Cemetery is a significant historic cemetery. Although not physically contiguous with the Greektown Historic District, Cycadia Cemetery has always been an integral part of its cultural complex. The cemetery has remained in constant use into the present and consists of more than 3,166 grave plots of local Greek Americans. The site retains its historic design, setting and integrity to a high degree. It contributes to the sense of place, historic development and culture of the Greek community in Tarpon Springs. Cycadia Cemetery is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for local significance under Criterion A in the areas of Ethnic Heritage/European-Greek, for its direct association with the Greek community and its cultural and religious practices and under Criterion C: Art, for the distinctive style of its Greek American funerary monuments. The City of Tarpon Springs Heritage Preservation Board approved the nomination at the September 10, 2018 regular meeting and made a recommendation to the Mayor and Board of Commissioners to support the nomination application.
