(JOPLIN, MO.) – Downtown Joplin Alliance (DJA) and Post Art Library (PAL) welcome the public to join them along with consultants from the Lochmueller Group on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at Joplin Empire Market (931 E 4 Street) from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm, for a public meeting regarding the architectural survey of a potential new National Register historic district in Downtown Joplin.
During the meeting, presenters will go over the results of the project, including their findings and what potential next steps would be. All property owners within the survey district are encouraged to attend. Consultants and organizational representatives will be on hand to answer questions following the presentation.
In 2024, DJA and PAL collaboratively applied for and were awarded a Historic Preservation Fund matching grant through the State Historic Preservation Office of Missouri to carry out this survey project. Though this survey has the endorsement of the Joplin Historic Preservation Commission, it is not being conducted by that commission or the City of Joplin. Funds to match the grant are from DJA’s Endangered
Properties Program Revolving Fund and private donations.
For more information, contact DJA Executive Director, Lori Haun, at lori@downtownjoplin.com or Post Art Library Executive Director, Jill Halbach, at jill@postartlibrary.org.
