[MassHistPres] Sidewalks in the historic district

If it's state money in an NRD then I'd think it's subject to a finding of no adverse impact.  

You should consult with MHC about the process.  I assume Westport is not a Certified Local Government.

They need work, there are safety issues, and the town has no other funds to do this.  However, many residents are very worried about the fact that all the existing sidewalks will be ripped out, and new ones, with 6 inch granite curbs and all the other things that they have to do to utilize that funding will have a serious impact on the look of the district.  Many say it would be too "suburban".  My question is if there are any dispensations which are possible from all the requirements of Chapter 90 funds for a historic district.  If you have any such information, please let me know.
