Chairman John Schwemmer told the Suffield Historic District Commission on July 6 that the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has approved the Commission's grant application for an updated Historic District Handbook, subject to the remaining administrative approvals required by SHPO.
Commissioners discussed creating a handbook task force to assist in developing the updated handbook, coordinating with SHPO, and the possible use of consultants. The Commission reviewed the anticipated role of the task force and the process for developing recommendations to be brought back to the full Commission. There was no formal vote on the handbook or task force at the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate the Commission will proceed with the administrative approvals required by SHPO and convene the handbook task force to draft recommendations for the Commission’s review.
