City of Laurens Seeks Applicants for Key Planning and Preservation Boards
February 21, 2026
The City of Laurens is currently accepting applications from residents interested in serving on several important volunteer boards that help guide the community’s future growth and development.
Open positions are available on the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Planning Commission. These citizen-led boards play a vital role in shaping land use decisions, protecting historic assets, and ensuring that development aligns with the city’s long-term vision.
City officials encourage residents who care about fair decision-making, balanced growth, and preserving Laurens’ unique character to consider applying. Members of these boards review proposals, hear public input, and make recommendations that directly impact neighborhoods, businesses, and quality of life across the city.
Serving on a board provides an opportunity for community members to contribute their knowledge, perspective, and leadership while helping guide responsible growth and thoughtful preservation efforts.
Applications are open to eligible residents who want to make a meaningful difference close to home.
