excited to see the past few
years of hard work finally
pay off.
“Certification will be
another avenue to bring
focus to our historic dis
trict, open new funding
opportunities and allow us
to become part of the CLG
community,” Smith said.
“Dawsonville is long over
due for some emphasis on
the importance of preserv
ing our heritage and
resources and we believe
that becoming a CLG is a
great step in accomplishing
that goal.”
Along with the require
ments of establishing a his
toric preservation commis
sion and local preservation
ordinance, the city also has
to maintain a system for
survey and inventory of
local historic resources.
For that the city sought
the help of Georgia
Mountains Regional
Commission Regional
Planner Joe Rothwell.
In 2016, Rothwell
helped the city produce a
historic resource survey, a
color-coded map that
shows all of the current and
potential historic sites
within the city and the year
in which they were built.
The data is not online
yet, but the map will help
the HPC pinpoint potential
projects within the historic
district and identify sites to
include in future historic
districts.
Once those projects are

determined, the commis
sion can then apply for
grant funding.
Rothwell said Thursday
that the grant cycle for his
toric preservation will
begin in December, and
that typically six to 12
CLGs will receive between
$5,000 and $15,000 each
year from the state.
Competition for the
grants is climbing, he said,
due to the high number of
governments obtaining the
certification in Georgia.
Georgia has the highest
number of CLG-
designated communities in
the U.S.

Easy Maintenance
□ Window Treatment - Investing in sun-blocking window covers and a new screen is
energy efficient & hygienic, reducing costs while keeping out pesky bugs and dirt.
□ Clean Sink Disposal - An unattended kitchen disposal can become a smelly, clogged
mess. If your disposal has a baffle, clean-up is easy. Simply take it out & wash out the
food buildup.
□ Test House Alarms - This easy (but life-saving) home maintenance step takes less
than five minutes to complete. Simply push the test button on your smoke and carbon
monoxide alarm and listen for the alarm. Don't hear anything? Put in new batteries and
repeat the test again.
□ Vacuum the Vents - Do you have an irritable bathroom fan? It's probably just full of
dust and debris. Remove the coverings on your vents and vacuum out the dust.
Hour-Long Projects
□ Check for Leaky Pipes - Leaky pipes are a bank breaker. They hike up your water bill,
ruin your lawn, and cause mold and mildew in your house. Feel your walls for wetness,
check your water pressure, and monitor your water bill. Any suspicious signs could
mean a leak
□ Inspect the Air Conditioners - There's nothing worse than a 100-degree day without
AC. If you have a window unit, be sure to remove and clean the filter every season. If
you have central air, the rule of thumb is to have the AC inspected by a professional
once a year to keep the frigid air blowing.
□ Check Your Roof - Weather, wind, and everyday wear and tear can hurt your roof.
Check for missing shingles or mold or anything that might hurt your home's head. Better
to make small repairs every summer than spend thousands of dollars to replace the
whole roof.

The Tough Tasks
□ Restore the Deck and Patio - Summer is the perfect time to re-stain
the deck and check for loose floorboards or mold. Give the whole surface
a good scrub, power wash, sealing, or even some sanding. A little elbow
grease and you'll be ready for that outdoor barbecue.
□ Landscaping - An overgrown lawn can lead to animal and bug
infestations, choke out existing plants, and reduce curb appeal.
□ Check Exterior Paint and Siding - Peeling paint and chipped siding can
let in bugs and the weather. Algae and mildew can also show up if you
live in a humid climate. Do a lap around your house and check for any
problem areas. By painting, cleaning, and repairing issues now, you can
avoid the vacation-killing expense of having to replace your home's
siding.
□ Clean Your Gutters - Standing water and leaf buildup is the ultimate
no-no. In the short term, unclean gutters can attract mosquitoes and
other pests.
