Boston-based associate Geoffrey Fehling was just lately sworn in as a member of the City of Wellesley Historic Fee. The Fee was created to protect and defend the city’s tangible proof of the architectural, aesthetic, cultural, financial, political and social historical past. In fulfilling its mission, the Fee:
- educates the group on the financial, cultural, and aesthetic values of historic preservation, by way of working collaboratively with city boards, house owners, builders, realtors, and residents, by way of our signature Historic Plaque Program, and thru articles and letters within the native press;
- advocates for native ordinances, bylaws, and public actions that encourage the preservation, restoration, and reuse of historic properties each private and non-private; and
- addresses main improvement and development points, comparable to selling sensible zoning, encouraging renovation and adaptive reuse as alternate options to demolitions of historic properties, and offering technical help and help to make sure that development can coincide with the safety of the historic property of the city.
The Wellesley Choose Board appoints city residents—primarily based schooling, coaching, native authorities expertise, and dedication to group service—who will contribute to selling and administering these objectives. Congrats, Geoff!
