[MassHistPres] Demolition Review Bylaw

Jack!
Thank you kindly for your response. The attached letter is most helpful!

I am wondering - did it take 3 attempts to get the bylaw passed or 3 to get it amended 


Thanks

In response, I wrote a by-lined op-ed for our local newspaper. I am attaching it here. It includes counter-arguments to those complaints. Feel free to steal.
