LOWER MERIONÂ â Lower Merion has a lot of designated historic properties. Now, they will all be getting a fresh look through a photographic survey.
The Lower Merion Board of Commissioners Wednesday night approved a $27,500 contract with PS&S to create a new photographic survey of the townshipâs currently designated historic resources as an update to the Historic Resource Inventory.
Greg Prichard, Lower Merionâs historic preservation planner, said most of the projectâs funding is coming from a $25,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the stateâs historic preservation office. The township is required to match 10 percent, or $2,500, of the grant money.
