"This ordinance amends Chapter 8.20 of the Bloomington Municipal Code entitled “The List of Designated Historic Districts” in order to designate Lower Cascades Park as a historic district. The Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission, after a public hearing February 23, 2024, recommended that the park be designated historic with a rating as “Contributing.” This rating was based upon certain historic and architectural criteria set forth in BMC 8.08.010(e) entitled “Historic District Criteria.” Local designation will provide the protection needed to ensure that this property is preserved."
