As the Shepherdstown community, like the rest of the world, copes with the COVID-19 crisis, the Historic Landmarks and Planning Commissions want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these waters together.

The review of project applications, under normal circumstances, often requires a degree of discussion and information sharing that can become quite detailed and time-consuming. These challenges are only compounded by social-distancing requirements.

As the Corporation of Shepherdstown strives to provide applicants with the best possible service, while protecting the historic fabric of our community, please know we are working very hard to ensure this process continues as scheduled.
