About the Historic Preservation CommissionThe County Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), appointed by the County Executive, administers the provisions of the Prince George's County historic preservation ordinance and the County's preservation tax credit program. The HPC's responsibilities are to protect the historic resources, sites, and districts listed in the County Inventory of Historic Resources. As a result of the protection afforded by the ordinance, today there are over 500 properties, including 325 Historic Sites, and two locally designated Historic Districts in Prince George's County. National Register of Historic Places listings for the county include 75 individual properties and nine historic districts. |
