Historic Districts: 15 Frequently Asked Questions, Part 12

Q. Will the controls in a Historic District make it more difficult to sell my property?

A. Not at all. The neighborhood will be enhanced, and thereby your property as well. Experience with other Historic Districts has shown a strong improvement in the housing market within Historic District areas. There are no limitations set on the sale of property.

Highlights From the January Meeting

The application for 2008 Historic Preservation Fund Pass-through Grant for the nomination of Randolph Street Historic District has been submitted and the Commission may know as early as March if they were awarded the grant.

The Historic Preservation Commission would like to thank Sue Hunter for her donation of $50.
