North Olmsted has 254 houses listed on the Ohio Historic Inventory, out of which only about fifty are within the historical district. It would be prohibitively expensive to update a11254 records. Discussion ensued regarding updating only those homes within the historical district. The grant manager said the district update would be acceptable for the grant as it has specific boundaries. The survey could be all those listed within the district as well as those not listed but eligible. Whoever is hired must complete the online I- forms. She will research the matter further but the filing deadline is fast approaching. Mr. Schumann said the Cleveland Restoration Society may have names of individuals who do the work. The homes to first be included in the list should be those which have reached the century mark. Ms. Wenger said the office would work on trying to find the age of the homes within the historical district.
