Completion of site forms. The forms combine all research, questionnaire responses and photos gathered to date. The forms also note the integrity and significance of a property.

• Integrity is the ability of a property to convey its connection to the past.
• Significance is the importance of a property to the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture of a community. Significance can be achieved by meeting one or more of the following criteria:
  Criterion A – Association with historic events or activities
  Criterion B – Association with an important person
  Criterion C – Distinctive characteristics of design, construction, or form
  Criterion D – Potential to yield important information

Once complete, the site forms will be turned in to the City of Greeley and the State's Office of Archaeology & Historic Preservation for review. Final project results will be presented to residents in Spring 2023.
