Comments from the Historic Preservation Committee
At the August 26th meeting of the Historic Preservation Committee, members discussed the
General Plan update and provided comments:
Section 7.7 Cultural and Historical Resources
• The preamble and cultural discussion is missing many historical resources. For example,
historic districts and presumptive pre-1941 historic resources should be included.
Historic Resource Surveys
• The 1989 Bloomfield Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) survey should be updated and
should reconsider the 1941 date.
• The Historic District boundaries are inconsistent. An updated HRI survey should include
review of the boundaries.
• An updated HRI survey could include a grass-roots volunteer effort.
Historic Resource Rehabilitation
• Assist property owners in exploring financial incentives for the rehabilitation of historic
resources, including funding for the continued revitalization of the vibrant historic
Downtown.
Community Design
• Consideration for requiring replacement of pre-1941 structures that have been approved
for removal from the HRI to be historically compatible.
