September’s HPC meeting was filled with opportunities! We heard from about an occasion to open your historic home or business to the public for the 2024 Historic Holiday home tour. After the town manager gave a detailed timeline of historical preservation efforts in Carthage, the board discussed a communication policy to increase the communication and transparency to the public, approved the new HPC website (updated on the contact page), approved the creation of a Steering Committee made up of Historic district residents, and announced open applications to fill two recently vacated positions on the HPC board to be appointed by the BOC in the coming months. Sign up details for the Historic Holiday Home tour and applications for the HPC Steering Committee and HPC Board positions are open on the website.
