Old Kings Highway Historic District Committee 07-22-2026

The Old Kings Highway Historic District Committee held a remote meeting on July 22, 2026, primarily to discuss issues related to privately owned historic cabins on town-owned land at Sandy Neck. Dana Perry and other representatives of the cottage owners presented concerns about the town's proposal to shift from long-term lease agreements to revocable license agreements under Article 97, which could jeopardize the preservation and maintenance of these historic structures. The committee was asked to provide support and historical documentation to help the cottage owners maintain lease agreements, emphasizing the cabins' historical significance and the challenges posed by the town's legal stance influenced by state conservation laws. Additionally, there was brief mention of an upcoming elevator replacement project at town hall, which will affect handicapped access from September to December. No formal votes on procurement or contracts were recorded during this meeting.
