[MassHistPres] Historic District Expansion

[Roughan, Michael]

Hopkinton received a $12,500 matching grant from MHC to do a study on expansion of the Downtown Historic District. However, the expansion has not yet happened, but that’s another story.

Westport expanded its Westport Point Historic District by 14 properties contiguous with the existing district.  It was carried out by a couple of Historical Commission members, including Geraldine Millham and Jane Loos, and myself, an interested citizen.  There was no cost because Geraldine was a graphic designer.  We interviewed each resident and got their approval (sometimes a little hesitant!) to a petition to be added to the existing historic district.  Once all owners approved, town meeting approval was easy.

In Brookline, as there has not been funds to spare for a long time, usually the people seeking to create or expand an LHD draft or pay for the study report.

Has anyone expanded their historic district? Any suggestions for consultant to complete required study? What is typical study cost? Where did funding come from for study? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
