STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN-ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE
As part of the development of the next 5 year state historic preservation plan, the Massachusetts Historical Commission is seeking the input of the preservation community through an on-line survey questionnaire.  The survey results will help summarize the preservation community's recent preservation successes, current challenges and recommendations for the next five years.  Please take a few minutes to fill out the online survey. The survey includes 22 questions.  We expect it will take about 5 minutes to complete.  The survey can be found at this link:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MAStateHistPresPlan
If you have any questions regarding the state historic preservation plan, please contact Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us<mailto:Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us>.


GUIDEBOOK ON DEMOLITION DELAY BYLAWS AND ORDINANCES
The Massachusetts Historical Commission is continuing to work on the development of a guidebook on demolition delay bylaws and ordinances.  If you have experience with demolition delay in your city or town and would like to be part of the development of this guidebook, please contact Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us<mailto:Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us>.
