February 28, 2008: Preservation 101
A FREE Historic Preservation  Workshop
*********************************
 
 
 
Fall River Library, 4 to 6 PM, 104 North Main Street, Main Meeting  Room
Presented by Preservation Massachusetts



*********************************************
PRESERVATION 101 will introduce the critical preservation tools available  to 
communities and their historical commissions, along with some of the economic 
 incentives for preservation. Among the tools that will be discussed are  
architectural surveys, the National Register of Historic Places, demolition  
delay bylaws, and preservation restrictions. PRESERVATION 101 will also present  
the array of organizations and agencies, large and small, which make up the  
preservation partnership. There are many entities that can assist the local  
commissioner and colleagues in maintaining a town’s sense of place and  
character. This is an excellent opportunity for new commissioners to get a good  
overview of the work of historical commissions. It is also an opportunity for  
commissioners who would like to know more about the latest guidelines on  surveys, 
and those with particular questions about using these tools in their  
communities.




The workshop is intended to inform attendees on the basic techniques of  
historic preservation planning at the local level. Historical and local historic  
district commission members, planners, and interested public from the region 
are  encouraged to attend.


Everyone is welcome.
