Summary

Council approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for renovations to 231–233 Bridge Street after the HARB/Heritage board and applicants resolved issues around signage and materials; council highlighted the project’s downtown character contribution.

Council members pulled a consent-agenda item to discuss a high-profile renovation at 231–233 Bridge Street. Miss Dugan, who brought the item forward, said the Historic Architectural Review Board had spent substantial time reviewing and negotiating design details, including denying PVC signage, and had worked with the applicant to reach acceptable materials and designs.

After the review and the applicant’s adjustments, council voted to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness. Council members said the project enhances the character of Bridge Street and thanked staff and HARB for their work reviewing the application.
