ReprintWalter Cook wants to lead the charge to preserve county historical areas.
At the June 4 Cass County Commissioners meeting, Cook, Harrisonville, expressed to the commission of his desire to formulate a county historical preservation commission.
Cook said there are at least two historic roads and multiple buildings that could become the interest of the proposal.
“I think creating a county historical preservation commission, as opposed to just having municipal historical preservation, like the one here in Harrisonville, is that all county-owned properties, whether it be in a municipality or in out in the rural areas, would be better supervised at a county level,” Cook said.
Commissioners encouraged Cook to find other citizens who might also be interested in serving in such capacity, as well as to organize a plan to how the society might work, and then they would be open to scheduling a work session to move forward with the project.
