Downtown Valdosta boasts a large collection of historically significant buildings. These are residential, commercial, and institutional structures. To recognize these properties and their place in our collective past, the Central Valdosta Development Authority and the Main Street Office have instituted a Historic Plaque Program to share the history of these buildings and our community.

How do I get a plaque?

If you are a CVDA District building owner, simply download the application. Once received, City staff will review the application and determine if the property meets the eligibility criteria. The application simply requires the property’s address and the applicant’s contact information, as well as a photograph of the building with the applicant’s proposed location for the plaque indicated on the photograph or a sketch of the building. If the application is approved, the Main Street Office will place the order for the plaque and will contact the applicant upon receipt of the plaque. The applicant is responsible for the installation (including cost and labor) of the plaque on the building.
