General Purpose
The Historical Commission was created to ensure the preservation, protection, and development of the historical assets that are the visible evidence of the Town of Needham's history. The commission conducts research to identify places of historic or archeological value, and seeks to coordinate the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes. The commission communicates with the Select Board about recommendations as to the whether an asset should be certified as an historical or archeological landmark.
The functions of the Historical Commission include:
- Assisting residents in obtaining historical information about the town
- Reviewing proposed demolition projects in accordance with the demolition delay by-law (2.11.5)
- Working with the town in the evaluation of the future use of historic buildings
