Historic commission to ask select board to consider Farley Building for conservation

Members of the Hollis Historic District Commission said they will ask the select board to consider the Farley Building for conservation and to place the topic on the select‑board agenda for June 22.

A commission member reported that the Heritage Commission and the historical society are supportive. The member said, "Tom and I just spoke earlier, so the idea of presenting this would be that Tom would do the introduction on behalf of the Historic District Commission as the chair," and suggested the vice chair and chair participate to add credibility.

Commissioners discussed logistics: a preparatory meeting at a commissioner's home before the select‑board appearance, the June 22 meeting time of 06:30, and the need to avoid forming a quorum of three HDC members during informal planning meetings. They planned to prepare a short statement to circulate in advance and to confirm attendance with the select board staff.
