[MassHistPres] surveys and CDBG

[Marcia Starkey]

Hello, 

The Winter 2006 VAF Newsletter includes a great article on important but threatened rural settlements in Fayette County KTY. The project seems to provide a model for surveys that include planning components (this one at a higher level than usually possible). The study described used CDBG funds as appropriate to these rural communities. 

Many Massachusetts towns have similar areas but there seems to be little understanding or information on how this funding source could be utilized for surveys which will have real effect on land use laws and community goals. Am I correct?
