[MassHistPres] Signs on Buildings

[Carol]

Betty:
Bedford's Historic District Commission has the last say over all 
property within the District (providing Code is met).  Our town also has 
a CPC, and they do not require a sign acknowledging fundings.  But if 
they did on a piece of District property,  the HDC would certainly fight 
them tooth and nail.  Speak with your town attorney if possible.

Good luck
