The Needham Historical Commission seeks to hire an historic preservation

To complete the Heritage Project, an historic preservation specialist will  
be contracted to:
 
1. Research and provide documentation for approximately 40 additional  
listings to our local historic  inventory,  completing B Forms for the  
Massachusetts Historical Commission. These homes have been identified.

but not limited to, grant opportunities, tax credits, deed restrictions and  pr
eservation options to be used as tools to preserve the historic buildings in  
Needham, and creating an informational folder with a sheet detailing each 
option  or incentive. This information would become part of an outline of general  
guidelines for a Master Historic Preservation Plan for the Town of  Needham.
 
3. Map the sites currently on our local historic inventory, plus the  
additional buildings as researched, using the mapping program available at the  
Needham Town Hall.
