City Government
The Historical Preservation Commission is moving forward with its historic preservation efforts. Formed in 1998, the seven-member commission actively works to educate and to preserve our community's rich history. The Commission designates historic properties and recommends historical designation of historic districts. The commission then reviews any plans to alter formally designated. Projects have included promoting a mid 1800's Log Cabin School, preserving properties such as the Seneca Station (National Register 2004), and assisted in the publication of a pictorial history of West Allis authored by Albert Muchka.
In 2005, the City of West Allis applied for formal designation as a Certified Local Government. This recognizes the City's commitment to historic preservation and opens the door to grants and assistance from various federal and state programs.
