On May 29th,the HPC held their 3` Annual Awards Ceremony at the Snowden House in the Grout Museum District. The HPC awarded three recipients , which were in the private sector, business sector, and one neighborhood association for their continued work in preserving the historic fabric and character of Waterloo. The HPC also worked with Main Street Iowa, SHPO, as well as Main Street Waterloo in coordinating and providing funding for the "Preserving Today for Tomorrow" conference that was held at the Waterloo Elk's Club on June 14th and 15th, with numerous HPC members attending the conference and furthering their education in historical preservation. The biggest success of 2007 for the HPC, was successfully finding a developer to rehabilitate and restore the former Rath Administration Building, which has sat vacant since 1985. In September, HPC member began organizing public brainstorming sessions on how to save the building, and what uses would best suit the former office building. A total of three brainstorming sessions were held, and with the continued work from City staff, a development agreement was reached between the City of Waterloo and MAKO CORPORATION of California. At their December regular meeting,the HPC unanimously approved the development agreement. In the upcoming months,the HPC will be actively involved with the redevelopment of the Rath Building by reviewing plans submitted by the architect for the project, insuring the outside restoration work complies with the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines. 2007 has proven to be a banner year for historical preservation in Waterloo, as there are multiple historical preservation projects currently underway or completed in downtown Waterloo, and a new life has been found for the Rath Administration Building.
