Cal, do you know what the Historic Preservation Committee does?
Is this the type of historical preservation where if your property is designated as historical, your ability to modify your property becomes severely limited?
Or is it the type of historical preservation where they look for interesting old stuff and recognize it without limiting the ability of the property owner to alter the character of the property?
“…with a demonstrated interest in pre-history, history or architecture are encouraged to apply.”
Calling all psychics, calling all psychics!
I watched as they built the new Sherwin-Williams paint store on Route 47, does that fulfill the “pre-history” qualification?
