MMCC raises Historic Society storage needs; old schoolhouse expansion would require conservation boundary review
Summary
The MMCC Committee discussed using the old schoolhouse to provide museum and storage space for the Historical Society but noted the conservation boundary around the building may need to be expanded; the group considered requesting the Select Board review the boundary.
The MMCC Committee discussed the Historical Society’s need for museum and storage space and the possibility of using the town’s old schoolhouse to meet that need. Committee members said the conservation boundary around the building may need to be expanded in order to permit an addition to the structure, and they considered asking the Select Board to review and possibly adjust that boundary.
Members framed the proposal as a way to support local heritage preservation while noting that boundary adjustments would require coordination with the Select Board and any applicable conservation rules. The committee did not record a formal motion or vote at the Jan. 5 meeting; the discussion concluded with a request to consider the boundary question as part of near-term Town Meeting and planning discussions.
