Longer-form draft.
The Hollis Historic District Commission (HDC) is stepping up its advocacy regarding the Farley Building, a move that carries significant implications for both local history and the town budget. During the May 7th meeting, the Commission discussed a plan to present a formal memo to the Select Board. The goal is to secure public acknowledgment of the building's historic value and a commitment to its long-term care. This isn't just about aesthetics—the Commission noted that the cost to demolish the building exceeds $1 million, making preservation a much more fiscally responsible option for taxpayers than demolition. To ensure their message has maximum impact, the HDC is coordinating with the Heritage Commission and the Historical Society. They aim to present a unified front to the Select Board on June 22nd. Additionally, the Commission addressed procedural integrity, discussing the importance of avoiding 'serial meetings' via email to remain in compliance with Open Meeting Law. They have instructed members to avoid 'reply all' communications on official matters to ensure all deliberations remain transparent and public. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/historic-district-commission/2026-05-07/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
