[MassHistPres] Funding for Preservation Staff

[Benjamin W. Murphy]

There are no professionally staffed historic preservation positions in the City of Springfield, in city government or in the non-profit world. I know there are municipalities in Massachusetts that have professional staff, whether it is in government or in a non-profit preservation group. I am interested in how these positions are paid for in the cities and towns that have them.  I appreciate any feedback that anyone can offer.

Thank You,
Ben Murphy, Treasurer
