HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Meetings are the 1st Wednesday at 7:30 PM at Town Hall
The
Historic Preservation Advisory Committee has the responsibility for developing ordinances for historic preservation, advising other government planning bodies about historic elements involved in proposed projects, and updating the Township's historic sites survey with an eye toward designating specific districts and sites as suitable for historic registration. The Committee was created by a
Township Resolution in 1997. The Historical Preservation Advisory Committee is modeled on Historical Preservation Commissions already functioning in neighboring towns.
Long Hill Township has among the highest density of historic structures of any location in Morris County owing to the combination of our isolated geography and low impact development. This historic heritage is a resource which should be encouraged in a way that protects and enhances the quality of life of our residents and visitors.
THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MET ON JANUARY 4TH, 2012 AND AGREED ON THE FOLLOWING 2012 Goals:
2012 Goals
