moreThe Norwood-Wingina Historic Resources Survey, conducted in 2012-13, was funded by the County of Nelson and the Cost Share Program of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR). The survey was modeled on DHR’s “Guidelines for Conducting Survey in Virginia for Cost Share Projects” (October 2011) and was undertaken by HistoryTech, a preservation planning firm based in Lynchburg.
The project was administered by Kristin Kirchen, DHR Architectural Historian, Carey Jones, DHR Architectural Survey Coordinator, Marc Wagner, Director of DHR’s Capital Region Office. The Steering Committee also included Maureen Kelley, Director of Economic Development and Tourism for Nelson County along with Becky Howard and Bob Carter of the Nelson County Historical Society. The survey team members included W. Scott Smith and Emily Patton Smith of HistoryTech. Scott Smith served as the project administrator and principal investigator.
The County of Nelson issued an RFQ (Request for Quotations) from consultants on July 30, 2012. Responses to the RFQ were received by August 15, and were evaluated by county staff. The selection of HistoryTech’s proposal was presented to the Nelson County Board of Supervisors at its September 11, 2012 meeting.
Project planning commenced in the fall of 2012 and included an initial Steering Committee meeting on October 17, 2012. An initial public meeting was held on November 15, 2012, and fieldwork was conducted from December 2012 through May 2013. A second public meeting was held on June 10, 2014.
