Commission outlines next steps to implement Concord's historic‑preservation plan
Summary
Commissioners reviewed the final preservation plan (dated June 30), discussed seeking Select Board direction on Aug. 17, and identified tasks including signage standards, an RFP for a thematic study of the Concord Reformatory (MCI), and assigning committee leads for implementation work.
The commission reviewed the final version of Concord's historic‑preservation plan (dated June 30) and discussed steps to move implementation forward. The chair said the commission will present the plan to the Select Board on Aug. 17 to seek direction and noted priorities such as developing standards for signage and preparing an RFP for a thematic study of the Concord Reformatory (MCI).
Commissioners debated whether implementation work should sit within the historical commission or be carried out by an advisory board (an advisory board could be faster but would have less formal visibility). The chair suggested recruiting Rob (a named participant in prior work) to lead the effort; staff and commission members agreed to finalize responsibilities and timelines before the Select Board presentation.
