[MassHistPres] Establishing Local Historic Districts Workshop - June 22

[Skelly, Christopher @ SEC]

ESTABLISHING LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS IN MASSACHUSETTS
Friday, June 22, 2007
Wellfleet, MA
2-4 pm

The Massachusetts Historical Commission, with the Wellfleet Historical Commission, will hold an "Establishing Local Historic Districts" workshop in Wellfleet, Massachusetts at the Wellfleet Senior Center.  

Established through a local bylaw or ordinance, a local historic district is the optimal tool for preventing demolitions and inappropriate alterations to significant historic resources.  The workshop will provide an overview of local historic districts including a statewide perspective over the past fifty years, how a local historic district protects significant historic resources and the basic steps required to establish a local historic district.  

This presentation is primarily for local historical commissions, local historic district study committees and historic district commission members interested in establishing a local historic district in their community.  However, anyone concerned about protecting historic resources and understanding the basics of local historic districts is welcome to attend.  

There is no charge to attend this workshop.  If you plan on attending, please RSVP to Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us with your name, address, phone number, email address and the name of your commission (if applicable).  

If you are interested in hosting a regional meeting in your community, please contact me for an MHC On the Road request form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
