News !!
City of Van Buren adopted the first citywide preservation plan by a vote of 6 for and 0 against by the City Council in 2009. This plan provides historical data, existing character and development, historic resources, design guidelines, and identifies policies and procedures for implementation and suggested local preservation actions. This plan was prepared and recommended by Van Buren Historic District Commission and Thomason & Associates out of Nashville, Tennessee.
