Blackwood Farm Preservation Plan <br />Page 2s <br />retaining the historic character of the house and building complex (which will require some <br />restoration and long -term maintenance). The HPC also focused on the importance of <br />preserving the historic roadways, and other components of the traditional landscape. <br />We assume that the Board of Commissioners will establish a planning committee to <br />develop program for the Blackwood property, and would like the opportunity to participate <br />in this process and have a seat on the committee. Our role as the Historic Preservation <br />Commission is not only to identify important cultural resources but also to advise the <br />Board on strategies to protect them. We are grateful for the purchase of this significant <br />tract and would like to volunteer to participate in the planning process as appropriate. <br />
