Swampscott Historical Commission Receives $10,000 Grant

The Swampscott Historical Commission announced recently that it has been awarded a $10,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

The money, along with $5,000 approved by voters at the 2014 Town Meeting and a $5,000 donation from the “Grown-Ups 2” production company, funds a Survey and Planning Grant the local commission had submitted, according to a post on the commission’s Facebook page.

The grant dollars will support the hiring of a professional preservation consultant “to continue the program of identification and evaluation of buildings along the Humphrey Street corridor and Little’s Point.”

“The Survey has been and will continue to be an important tool to be used in numerous town initiatives including the upcoming Master Plan, the Reconnaissance Report, Open Space and Recreation Plan and other zoning and planning studies,” the Facebook post reads.
