In 2011, the City of Binghamton hired a consultant to help produce a modern, up-to-date set of Design Guidelines for Historic Properties. The new City of Binghamton Historic Design Guidelines were official adopted by City Council on October 5, 2011. They provide information on Historic Preservation approaches and procedures, design principles, architectural styles, and applicable City laws.
