City of Columbia Historic Preservation Commission, the Boone County and State Historical Society Are All Likely Sponsors for the Conference Host CLG Proposal- City of Columbia Historic 2013 Statewide Preservation Commission Preservation Conference PROPOSAL INFORMATION 1. Name of host Certified Local Government City of Columbia, MO Historic Preservation Commission. 2. Name of title of primary contact who will be responsible for meeting arrangements Rachel Bacon, AICP, Planner with assistance from the City’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau staff: Beth Mead, CMP, Tourism Marketing Manager and Amy DeSalme, Convention Sales Manager. 3. Proposed hotel or hotels, include the # of single and double occupancy rooms available (Pricing can be negotiated later, but approximate room cost would be helpful) The first proposed hotel is the Tiger Hotel which is located on the historic downtown 8th Street/Avenue of the Columns. The Tiger Hotel has recently been restored as a boutique hotel and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Tiger hotel has 62 rooms and suites available. The conference rate for single/double/suite rooms is $119 per night, regardless of occupancy (single, double, or suite). A secondary downtown boutique hotel, the Broadway by Doubletree, will be complete by spring of 2013 (non-historic). Prices are not yet available. This hotel is within walking distance of the Tiger Hotel. There are also five suites available downtown on the historic Stephens College Campus (between $60 and $90 per night) and historic bed and breakfasts in the near West Broadway, Old Southwest and East Campus Historic Districts. Other nearby hotels will offer competitive rates as well, but will not be historic or within walking distance of the proposed conference facilities. The City of Columbia Convention and Visitor’s Bureau will put out a RFP to historic and nearby hotels to ensure the best rates and guest experience. The central location of Columbia makes it highly accessible for many Missouri preservation professionals. 4. Distance from major airport Downtown Columbia is 13 miles from the Columbia Regional Airport, 111 miles from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, and 148 miles from the Kansas City International Airport. The central location of the City of Columbia (within the state) on Interstate 70 makes driving a viable option as well. a. Type of transportation available from airport Affordable shuttle service ($46 each way) is available from both the St. Louis and Kansas City airports. 1 Host CLG Proposal- City of Columbia Historic 2013 Statewide Preservation Commission Preservation Conference Cabs may be booked at set rates from the Columbia Regional Airport (there is no shuttle/bus service at this time). It is possible to arrange for private shuttle service from the Columbia airport if needed. 5. Description and cost of potential meeting space Downtown Columbia has many excellent meeting space options. The availability and flexibility of various spaces ensures conference attendees will enjoy comfortable and desirable facilities. In addition to the Tiger Hotel, recommended meeting locations include space at one of the three historic campuses flanking the downtown (Columbia College to the north, Stephens College to the east, and the University of Missouri to the south); conference events could also potentially be held in either the historic Missouri Theatre and Hall Theatre (the Blue Note) on Ninth Street. Because there are many appropriate (and historic options), meeting space will be chosen by price and amenities. The University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College all has meeting space for 200+ and rooms ranging in size from classroom, auditorium and ballroom. Additionally, these venues have on-site AV equipment and events/technology support staff. The historic (National Register) Memorial Union on the University of Missouri campus’ meeting spaces run between $25 and $75 for set-up fees. More information may be found on the web at: http://unions.missouri.edu/set-up-info The historic (National Register) Lela Raney Wood Hall Kimball ballroom rents for $1600 per day and the historic Senior Hall for $800 per day without a conference bulk rate discount. More information about business space at Stephens College is on the web at: http://www.stephens.edu/services/events/business/#other Information about meeting space at Columbia College (including Dulany Hall in St. Clair Hall) may be viewed at: http://web.ccis.edu/Offices/CampusLife/ResidentialLife/reservations.aspx Potential meeting spaces located in the Tiger Hotel will be given a competitive conference rate. The ballroom space retails for $600 per day without the discount. Additional space is available in the hotel, including the lobby, mezzanine, Black and Gold room and Vault lounge. As host of the True/False Film Festival, Roots n’ Blues and BBQ Festival, and numerous MU football fans, Historic Downtown Columbia can accommodate and welcome a variety of visitors. 6. Historic places in area for local tour The Guitar Mansion, the Maplewood House and Boone County Historical Society historic attractions (affectionately described as a historic property petting zoo), and downtown and collegiate properties would make excellent tours for conference guests. The HPC has also developed a walking tour for historic collegiate properties which may also be used as either an organized or self-guided tour, and the downtown CID (“The District”) has a downtown walking tour. 2 Host CLG Proposal- City of Columbia Historic 2013 Statewide Preservation Commission Preservation Conference If the conference is held in October, the HPC has developed a very popular haunted historic property tour which could accompany a twilight social event (press on this tour may be viewed at: http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2010/oct/24/history- haunts/). A bicycle tour of downtown historic neighborhood districts (East Campus, West Broadway and Old Southwest) could also be arranged for conference attendees as a “mobile” or “wheeled” workshop. Columbia is a bicycle-friendly community, and this would allow for a unique on-the-ground experience for attendees. 7. Other attractions in area Other attractions near to Columbia for historic-minded visitors include the historic village of Rocheport (15 miles away- excellent heritage tourism examples; has shops, a winery and is located on the MKT), Booneville, Blackwater, and Hermann, MO and other nearby villages and towns with historic main streets and amenities. The University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College campuses are also lovely in the fall. 8. Key accomplishments host organization would want to showcase The Interactive Historic Map project and the Economic Impact of Historic Preservation in Columbia, MO (underway) are both Historic Preservation Fund supported projects which the HPC would like to showcase. Additional local projects by private developers, such as the revitalization of the mixed-use Berry Building and the North Village Arts District, and the rehabilitation of the Stephens College President’s Residence (to only name a few), will be a great way to showcase adaptive reuse and historic rehabilitation in Columbia. Additionally, the HPC would enjoy hosting on the many tours they have developed over the past few years (see question #6). 9. Possible sponsors for selected events and activities (Please indicate if any have made actual commitments.) The City of Columbia Historic Preservation Commission, the Boone County and State Historical Society are all likely sponsors for the conference. Downtown restaurants and businesses may also wish to showcase their historic features and host social events and/or contribute as sponsors, and Columbia has an active historically-minded development community which may want to provide sponsorship as a form of advertisement. Active neighborhood associations may also want to host events, such as walking or biking tours. The University of Missouri Architectural Studies program is a source for student volunteers. No potential sponsors have been approached at this time. The HPC will commit either financial or in-kind contributions to be determined at a later date. 3 .

    UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION STADLER GENETICS SYMPOSIA Volume 5 Edited by Gordon Kimber and G.P. Redei Columbia, Missouri 19 7 3 VOLUME 5 OF THE STADLER SYMPOSIA IS DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR ALBERT E. LONGLEY ON HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY BY THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF THE SYMPOSIA A. EISENSTARK, C. S. GOWANS, G. KIMBER , R. L. LARSON, H. A. MCQUADE, M. G. NEUFFER, G. P. REDEi, E. R. SEARS AND A. F. YANDERS -3- PREFACE The Fifth Stadler Genetics Symposium had an attendance of over 171; 85 of the out-of-town guests represented 19 states. The First Stadler Symposium took place five years ago when the continuation of this program was in serious doubt. The Symposia are firmly established now thanks to the world­ wide interest of geneticists in this program. We are happy having been able to make available these proceedings at the original modest price and we are gratified by the number of orders received from individuals, libraries and book sellers from all parts of the world. At several schools the material became a text or supplement to advanced instruction in genetics. If there is sufficient interest, the Independent Study Department of the University of Missouri will offer these lectures for credit through correspondence to all qualified off-campus students too under the title "Genetics in Progress." Inquiries can be sent to Prof. G. P. Redei, 117 Curtis Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65201. The 6th Symposium is tentatively scheduled for April 19-20, 1974. We plan to distribute the detailed program by the end of the year.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.

Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) is one of the grants, which provides dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical issues facing our nation’s highways and bridges. In July 2019, MoDOT was awarded an $81 million INFRA grant towards the replacement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) Missouri River bridge at Rocheport. As a result, MoDOT is preparing to replace the bridge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) requires a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) re-evaluation when there has been greater than 3 years since the original NEPA approval, or when changes related to the original study have occurred. The original NEPA approval – an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) – was made in 2005. Due to the amount of time that has passed since the initial evaluation and the more defined project limits, a NEPA re-evaluation of the previous studies for the Rocheport bridge is required and will be prepared in compliance with NEPA. Background The I-70 Corridor One of the most important limited-access highways across the United States is I-70, which provides an east-west connection across much of the United States.

It was the city’s first commercial area and its first light industrial area. It also was a blighted area subjected to urban renewal, JENNIFE BY and an area where grand development proj- otos H ects were shot down. In the first part of a P two-part series, Ray Beck looks at the history of Flat Branch. The transfor- mation of the Flat Branch area of downtown into a park is nearly com- plete, ameliorating the deterioration along the creek that had long been Beck a source of concern for the city. Historically, many cities have been organized along waterways. While it is certainly no Missouri River, Flat Branch Creek is where our city took root, and it was an important factor in locating the county seat in Columbia in 1821. While it may be a strange concept to today’s Columbians, who have known it Home-grown data as an ugly drainage ditch, the creek was a boon to the residents who abandoned the nearby town of Smithton, a half-mile center sets record pace to the west, to obtain potable water from Profile on Page 5.

  • District Neighborhoods
    The Strollway ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is The District’s prime 24-hour shopping, dining and entertainment area. Centered around the crossroads of Broadway and Ninth, the Strollway draws shoppers from across the Mid-Missouri region. Whether it’s shopping at one-of-a-kind gift stores and clothing boutiques on Broadway or strolling through the hip selection of shops and coffee shops on Ninth, the Strollway is everyone’s first—but not last—stop in The District . After the removal of the concrete canopies along Broadway, property owners have undertaken a number of façade renovation projects and this area compromises the majority of the area within our National Historic District. Buildings should maintain this historic feel with zero-setbacks and 2 to 3 stories. Priorities in this area include maintaining a strong retail presence on both Ninth and Broadway, continuing the beautification of Broadway (including developing decorative sidewalk standards), and supporting a new downtown hotel and parking garage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Focal Points Retail and Restaurant Highlights ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FNB Art Park
