Window Issues

Significant issues have developed in obtaining favorable SHPO comments for projects that include window replacement in buildings eligible for historic preservation. The SHPO and WV DOE have developed a protocol for handling the more difficult window replacement projects. However, this will add nonproductive cost to the project and creates a certain level of uncertainty. WV DOE has suggested that applicants consider avoiding window replacement in buildings of interest to the SHPO or consider window treatments more acceptable to SHPO. Please contact the PDC if you need additional information.
