Westport Historic District Releases Survey about Local History and Culture

The Historic District Commission is inviting residents to participate in a survey that will help guide and inform the adoption of the Town’s  Historic Preservation Plan.

Certified Local Government Coordinator Donna Douglass noted, “In 2022, the Town of Westport was granted a Certified Local Government (CLG) grant to hire a consultant, PaleoWest, to create a town wide Historic Preservation Plan. The purpose of the plan is to establish a long-term vision for historic preservation in the community, and to create a set of achievable goals and strategies for strengthening the Town's historic preservation program.” 

She continued, “Westport residents are encouraged to participate in the following survey that will help identify what is important to them in regard to local history, culture, and the built environment. For the purposes of this survey “historic preservation” refers to the practice of maintaining and preserving significant sites, buildings, landscapes, local history, and culture.”
