Any individual, BHPC member, Council member or organization can
nominate a property to the Brookings Local Register of Historic Plac-
es. The BHPC will then notify the owners and occupants of the indi-
vidual property or properties if a district is under consideration. A
hearing will then be held to determine whether the property should
be listed on the Local Register. While the City of Brookings has estab-
lished the Local Register, no historic resources or districts have been
designated.
