The process is ongoing and the Commission has examined other plans from several communities. Staff mapped out Oshkosh's existing historic districts, individually-listed State and National Register properties, and local landmarks. A subcommittee of Landmarks Commissioners met several times in 2019 to create material for the plan. On September 20th, 2019 the subcommittee held a visioning session and brainstormed assets and opportunities for preservation in Oshkosh. The Commission will work to create goals, objectives, and action items for the plan and host public meetings to obtain input from the public. After this, staff and the subcommittee will work to refine the plan and then run the plan through the approval process. The Historic Preservation Plan is a formal plan that would be recognized by the Plan Commission and Common Council and coordinate with other City plans. Once the plan is complete it will serve as guidance and form the basis of preservation efforts in Oshkosh.

SOCIAL MEDIA The Landmarks Commission maintains a Facebook page as a means of reaching the community regarding preservation-related initiatives. A few Commission members have volunteered to assist in posting material on the Facebook page. Materials posted on the page include weekly postings on significant architecture in Oshkosh, links to State and National resources such as Technical Preservation Briefs, and updates on major preservation activities and events. A number of Commissioners have expressed their interest in diversifying the Commission's social media to include platforms other than just Facebook. Over the next year the Commission will explore further the ability to create pages or feeds on other social media platforms. The Commission believes that this will broaden their reach with audiences of all age groups. Social media is a powerful tool by which Landmarks can update the public on events such as workshops, featured speakers, educational efforts, etc. Efforts are ongoing to update the Facebook page and determine programming for social media.

Renowned preservation contractor Terry Laib approached staff about his project to restore the front porch at the William Waters-designed residence back to the original form. He presented current images and drawings of the porch as it would have appeared in the 1870s when the house was constructed. Mr. Laib stated that he had filed all the necessary paperwork to apply for tax credits. Mr. Laib has extensive experience undertaking historic preservation projects on significant properties. The work performed at 907 Washington would follow the Secretary of the Interior's standards and that the house was a pivotal structure in the Washington Avenue Historic District.
