 Hi Susan, I appreciate the link. Yes it is helpful to see how other towns have approached this issue. Hoping to use ideas to help clarify our plan.

The Historical Commission was involved in some of the planning sessions and were very pleased to see that several of the goals in final the Plan include historic preservation (see CORE THEME 3 starting on page 47.)

>> Greetings to you all,
>>    I am seeking input regarding the Local comprehensive plans. I believe in the past a separate Historic Preservation plan would be included in the LCP. Now it seems as though Historic Preservation can be included within the plan but not a septette report. Is this accurate?. Our LCP coming up for review is vey concerning to me with little to no mention of Historic preservation either  current situation nor any concrete plans for the future.
