[MassHistPres] Funding for Inventory

[Roughan, Michael]

Hopkinton has benefited from direct town funding (Preliminary historical structures survey) as well as matching Mass Historical Commission grant / Hopkinton Community Preservation Awards.  

If Woburn has not yet taken advantage of the Community Preservation process, I would strongly advocate you do so. Otherwise I have no better suggestion, other than continue to apply for MHC grants.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Funding for Inventory

Good morning,

Woburn has been working on its Inventory since 2008. We were able to move ahead with our efforts in those years with some funding from the city and two grants from the state. The funding from the city diminished and then stopped three years ago. Last night after my presentation before City Council, one councilor who is interested in the Inventory, asked for me to research how other communities have funded their Inventory research. How much support do other communities receive from their municipality, and what other means have been used to fund the research?

Thanks in advance for any information,

Carol Seitz
Chairperson
Woburn Historical Commission
