This Bylaw is enacted for the purpose of preserving and protecting historic buildings that
constitute or reflect distinctive features of the architectural, cultural, economic, political, or
social history of the Town and encouraging sustainability through the adaptive reuse of historic
structures. Through this Bylaw, owners of historic buildings are encouraged to seek out
alternative options that will preserve, rehabilitate, or restore such buildings, and residents of the
Town are alerted to the impending Demolition of Significant Buildings. By preserving and
protecting Significant Buildings, this Bylaw promotes public welfare by making the Town a
more attractive and desirable place in which to live, work, and visit. To achieve these purposes
the Historical Commission is authorized to allow or delay Demolition through the issuance of a
Demolition Authorization or a Preservation Order. C. Definitions
