Ways to Save Haddam’s Historic Buildings!!
Preservation Task Force Meeting
Wednesday, October 4, 2023
7 pm
Community Center, 7 Candlewood Hill Road, Higganum, CT
The demolition of the Hazenhurst Barn in August was a devasting loss to Haddam. The landmark building had suffered years of neglect and deferred maintenance with no ramifications.
The town should have incentives, ordinances, and policies in place to prevent this from happening again. Middletown has planned a tax abatement program would allow owners of historical buildings to apply for up to a 10-year tax relief incentive. Many Connecticut communities have preservation ordinances or local historic districts.
There is a list of ways to protect and preserve our local landmarks and concerned residents need to work with officials and property owners to prevent this happening again. But it will take work and involvement.
If protecting our town’s historic character is important to you PLEASE join us on October 4 at 7 pm at the Community Center at 7 Candlewood Hill Road. Join us and representatives from Preservation Connecticut to learn about ways we can encourage historic property owners to maintain, preserve and protect their important buildings for generations to come.
