[MassHistPres] Town Common Policy

[Carol Carlson]

Joyce:
Does Princeton have a Historic District and HDC?   Bedford's beautiful 
Town Common and adjoining property fall within the Bedford Historic 
District, therefore a representative of the town must appear before the 
Commission with an application for any major changes, additions, etc., 
the same as any property owner.  This works well, and all parties have 
been most cooperative throughout the years.
Good luck!
