SHARE YOUR PRESRVATION SUCCESSES

Do you have a success story that you would like other commissions to know about?  Perhaps it could be included here in an upcoming newsletter. Have you undertaken a public education effort, advocated for the preservation of a significant resource, had a demolition delay success or funded a survey project?  Whether big or small, we’d like to hear about your local successes and share it with others.  If you have an idea, please contact Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us<mailto:Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us>.
