[MassHistPres] Register now for Leading Locally: Preservation Management Strategies That Work

[Sally Zimmerman]

Join preservation professionals from Historic New England, Massachusetts Historical Commission, and local commissions for workshops on local preservation management issues in cities and towns. The first workshop, being held Friday, May 6, focuses on Design Review Concepts, Cases, and Issues. The preliminary agenda for this program is included below.

This workshop focuses on important issues in design review and management of local historic districts. Using case study examples and mock hearings, learn to address challenging issues in historic districts. Case studies will draw from actual applications.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions and concerns from their local historic districts for group discussion and feedback. To submit a question from your local historic district, please register by May 2.

Later workshops take place on Friday, June 10 (Introduction to Establishing and Administering Preservation Restrictions) and September 9 (Caring for Municipal, Museum, and Other Non-Profit Historic Properties).
