[MassHistPres] Share your town's success stories! Demolition Review Bylaw

[Randall, Lindsay]

Krissy,

Medford and Salem are really great examples of demo delays and doing more beyond just implementing a delay (actually working towards resolution and documenting the buildings when demolition can’t be stopped) Both presented at a previous EMHCC webinar on Demolition Delay Implementation (February 6, 2024). You can find that video recording here: Eastern Massachusetts Historical Commission Coalition – MAPC<https://www.mapc.org/resource-library/eastern-massachusetts-historical-commission-coalition/>

Carlisle is also in the MAPC region, so if you’d like to talk further about this, my colleague Sarah Scott (Senior Regional Land Use and Historic Preservation Planner) and I would be happy to chat with you.

The Carlisle Historical Commission is working toward the adoption of a Demolition Review Bylaw and is gathering examples from other communities to help inform this effort.

If your community has experience with a similar bylaw, we would greatly appreciate hearing how it has been implemented and what outcomes you have seen—whether in preserving historic resources, shaping development or other measures of success.


Thank you in advance for sharing any insights you may be willing to provide.

thanks
Krissy O'Shea
Carlisle Historical Commission
