After a year of research, the city will unveil its Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan on Thursday. The study details the maintenance of the nine historic buildings owned by Norwalk. The Historical Commission received a $25,000 Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Grant that partially paid for the study that was conducted by John Milner & Associates.
The plan details the current conditions of the nine buildings and outlines a plan for their preservation and maintenance, said Susan Gunn Bromley, the curator of The Norwalk Museum. The study includes both large and small problems with the buildings and prioritizes the work that needs to be done.
The study includes recommendations for each building and a proposed time schedule for completing the work. The intent is to properly address routine maintenance in order to avoid more costly restoration work, said Gunn Bromley. The professionally prepared assessment will also assist the city in obtaining grants to pay for some of the work.
The Norwalk Historical Commission invites public comment during the meeting that will be held on Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Community Room.
