Since helping launch Visit Enid in 2010, Rob has been a driving force in elevating Enid’s profile as a destination for visitors, events, and economic growth. He is especially proud of helping put Enid back in the spotlight and supporting the success of major events like the NJCAA Division II World Series, which will now remain in Enid through 2038.

Rob is excited about the future of Oklahoma tourism and the opportunity for communities across the state to continue growing through strong industry partnerships and leadership.

Do you live in one of Enid’s Historic Districts?

The City of Enid has two main Historic Districts:
• Kenwood Historic District
• Waverly Historic District

If your property is located in one of these districts, you may need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) before making exterior changes to your building or site.

Why is a COA important?
Property owners in historic districts follow design guidelines that help preserve the character of these neighborhoods for current and future generations.

A COA may be:
• Issued administratively by Community Development staff, or
• Reviewed at a public meeting of the Historic Preservation Committee

Obtaining a COA before work begins helps protect the historic character of your property and the neighborhood.

If you have questions about historic preservation or want to find out whether your property is in a historic district, contact the Community Development Office at 580-616-7213.
