A Historic Boundary Study Committee was created in 2013 to determine whether the existing boundaries of the Oakwood Historic District should be modified as a result of changing conditions. The committee's preliminary report was completed and, after a 60-day review period, a public hearing was held. The committee transmitted their complete Oakwood Historic District Boundary Study Final Report (PDF) in December 2018.
The Study Committees recommendations as well as other options were considered by the East Lansing City Council from April 2019 to February 2020. At its meeting on February 11, 2020, the City Council approved Ordinance 1446c, which changed the boundaries to remove properties at 314-404 Evergreen Ave. as well as City Parking Lot #15 from the district. These changes have been incorporated. A map of the district is available here.
