[MassHistPres] Info. TIP funded roadwork/historic preservation impacts

[Judy Markland]

Sally,

Have you contacted the Mass. Historical Commission?  They are charged 
with reviewing projects involving state or federal funding to determine 
whether there are adverse effects on historic properties "and take 
prudent and feasible measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate those 
effects". (See https://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcrevcom/revcomidx.htm)

Judy Markland, Whately Historical Commission
