[MassHistPres] Funding for Preservation Staff

[Brandon Wilson]

Somerville has (2) 3/4-time professional paid staff now funded by local
tax revenues.  Previously CDBG funds were used, but this was changed a
couple of years ago due to low-moderate income restrictions placed on
use of federal grant funds.

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,
