seconded by Pat. All in favor.
The Department of Environmental Management is accepting applications for
historic landscape grants for up to $50,000. It covers parks, commons, cemeteries
and grounds. It would not, therefore, include repairs for the fisher - Richardson
House.
Leslie obtained a copy of the preservation restriction from the Town Clerk.
Section 4 of the application for a grant for the Fisher - Richardson House was
completed. David will check the Internet for a listing on the National Register of
Historic Places. The task of obtaining letters of support for the grant application
was divided up. Leslie will ask the Selectmen and Town Manager and Kate will
contact the Historical Society. Jean will speak to the third grade teachers and
Gean will ask Lorilee Fish in Parks and Recreation for a letter. All letters should
be addressed to Judith McDonough at the Mass Historical Commission and given
to Leslie to include with our application.
Leslie drafted a warrant article for the Special Town Meeting in May for
matching funds ($7900) for the pre - development stage of the project. It was
approved on a motion by David, seconded by Jean. All in favor. It will be
forwarded to the Town Manager immediately.
