HPC to Choose New Consultant for 2015

The Historic Preservation Commission will interview four applicants in closed session tonight  for the position formerly held by Gail Hunton since 1983.

The meeting is 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Library, 515 Watchung Ave.

The four applicants are BRS Brownfield Redevelopment Solutions Inc., Dennis Bertland Associates, Barton Ross & Partners LLC and McCabe  & McCabe LLC.

Hunton served as the city preservationist from the inception of the historic preservation movement in Plainfield. She resigned in December.

The reorganization meeting will include swearing-in of new members and election of a chairman and vice chair before commissioners adjourn to closed session, which is expected to take about 45 minutes. Appointment of the consultant for 2015 will take place when the commission reconvenes. The commission will also choose a secretary, set a meeting calendar, designate official newspapers and adopt by-laws as part of the reorganization before moving on to business.

  1. Does BRS really have expertise in historic preservation?

  2. Look at the "Historic" Homestead on Terrill Rd between Cushing Rd & W. 7th St for a fine example of the money spent on Historic Renovations in Plainfield. It has been work every dime.
