The CFA accepts public comment on projects and other matters currently under review. During public meetings of the Commission conducted by videoconference, for security and meeting quality purposes, attendees will not have access to the microphone or camera functions of the webinar. For members of the public wishing to comment on submissions, written comments will be accepted through the public comments page on the CFA website or via email to cfastaff@cfa.gov; please submit comments by 4pm on Wednesday, January 14. As the Commission of Fine Arts is a design review entity, please limit comments to design issues. Comments will be shared with the Commission members before the meeting and will become part of the public record. The Secretary will read or summarize these public comments at the meeting during review of the relevant project at the discretion of the CFA Chair.
