Much of Newbury's appeal comes from her historic structures and landscapes and yet many of these important resources are being lost as our community continues to grow. The Newbury Planning Board is working with the Newbury Historical Commission to find ways to support historic preservation in our community. As part of our Open Space Residential Subdivision Bylaw
the Planning Board as the ability to provide bonuses to developers in return for the preservation of historic structures. Other options under consideration at this time include a Scenic Roads bylaw and a Demolition bylaw.
Bylaws and regulations can, however, go only so far and we all need to become more aware of the historic features in our community and in many cases in our own homes. To this end, we are creating a series of webpages that cover issues related to historic preservation and that provide links to the wealth of information that is available on the internet.
