[MassHistPres] state-wide coalition of HP commissions

[Marcia Starkey]

Hello,

 

The discussion of a Massachusetts organization representing local
preservation commissions has described earlier experience. I think it's
worth noting that the direction today is to regard conservation/preservation
as a multi-faceted concept recognizing that historic places are an important
part of a sustainable community.  In some places funding is also reflecting
that view, and so are municipal plans.  The Trustees of Reservations has
worked from this principle for many years.

 

Is there interest in that approach and the idea that we should discuss
co-operation with that kind of organization or a coalition?
