Statler recognized for preservation post

Daniel A. Statler, Cape Girardeau attorney, recently was recognized for his appointment to the Missouri Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Statler, who owns The Statler Law Firm, was appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon in 2013. Statler's term on the council runs until 2016. The council plays a role in preserving Missouri's cultural heritage. Both the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended and the Missouri Revised Statutes require that nominations to the National Register of Historic Places be reviewed by a board of citizens. By state law, Missouri's advisory council consists of architects, historians, archaeologists and interested laypersons appointed by the governor.
