[MassHistPres] Town owned historic buildings

[M Fenollosa]

Hi --

there is another reason why a town owning historic buildings may not be 
such a bad thing:  to the extent the town is responsible for the 
preservation and rehabilitation of these buildings, CPA money would 
likely be available to help, drawing on money from the state (through 
the state match) and possibly relieving the pressure on the municipal 
budget for non-CPA eligible projects likes roads and schools--
