The State Historic Preservation Review Board (State Review Board) is comprised of fourteen volunteer members appointed by the Commissioner of the Department of Administration. Eight members represent various academic disciplines — history, architectural history, architecture, and archaeology, while six members represent the public.
The State Review Board is empowered to:
The board meets four times a year (February, May, August, and November) usually the second or third Tuesday of the month.
Meetings are held virtually via Webex Meetings. Visit the Review Board Meeting page for more information.
For regulatory notification purposes nomination documentation for properties located in Certified Local Governments (CLG) must be submitted earlier than those not located in CLG communities. Below are the upcoming meeting dates for the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Review Board. These dates, and their corresponding deadlines, will allow you to plan accordingly. We must stress that in our effort to be fair to all the SHPO can no longer set aside one project to work on another that has arrived after the stated deadline. Please respect these deadlines.

As outlined above, if a nominated property is located within an area where the unit of government has Certified Local Government (CLG) status, the complete nomination package must be submitted by the date in the center column (CLG). If the unit of government does not have CLG status, the date in the third column (Non CLG) applies.
A complete nomination package includes a nomination and its corresponding additional information, all of which has been reviewed by the SHPO and found acceptable. (Important note: as you know, preparing a nomination is a complex process and at times a draft nomination will go through several reviews). Nominations are reviewed in the order received, and if a nomination arrives on a CLG or Non CLG submission date and is not complete, it will not be placed on the review board agenda.
We appreciate your help with this effort.
