Public forums to address high number of Wellesley teardowns
The Wellesley Historical Commission (WHC) is holding three public forums over the coming weeks to discuss the high number of teardowns in town. The public’s feedback on a proposed historic preservation demolition review bylaw will be sought.
Wellesley is surrounded by communities with such bylaws, and as a result, Wellesley is targeted even more by those tearing down historic homes. About three-quarters of residents surveyed late last year said they are concerned about the number of teardowns in town.
The public forums will be held from 7:30 to 9pm on:
• Thursday, 9/22 at the Warren Building, Room 008, 90 Washington Street
• Monday, 9/26 in the Great Hall at Wellesley Town Hall
• Tuesday, 9/27 at the Warren Building, Room 008, 90 Washington Street
