Albany's Historic Resources Commission (HRC) is appointed to administer and regulate the appearance of the adopted historic districts; protect their significant character; and safeguard the archeological or cultural integrity in the best interest of the community. The HRC reviews all proposed alterations or additions to any structure or landmark that falls within, or adjacent to, a local Historic District. Review by the HRC is also required for demolition of any designated structure, and for new construction, in or adjacent to a local Historic District.
