Stonington Town and state officials will hold a June 24 virtual conversation on a proposal to designate a small area of downtown Pawcatuck a historic district.
The effort is aimed at further spurring revitalization by exempting four property owners from having to comply with costly flood zone regulations.
The town has proposed that the Pawcatuck Bridge Historic District be placed on the State Register of Historic Places. The district would include the following properties: 5 West Broad St., which contains the Riverwalk condominium development as well as businesses such as Mia s Cafe and Bogue s Alley deli; 29 West Broad St., a two-story commercial and residential building across the alley from Bess Easton; 34 West Broad St., which is the vacant Laura s Landing mixed-use building where a renovation has started, and 38 West Broad St., a three-story commercial and residential building.
Stonington The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday night to recommend the town proceed with enacting a 90-day delay on the demolition of buildings.
In addition, commission members agreed to investigate the possibility of creating village districts that could help further protect historic structures.
If the Board of Selectmen supports the demolition ordinance, it could be sent to a town meeting for voter approval later this year. If enacted, the demolition delay also would apply to the borough.
The commission s decision came after members received a Historic Preservation Strategies Report prepared by Town Planner Keith Brynes that offers options for preserving the town s historic buildings. These include implementing demolition delays, creating historic and village districts and offering preservation incentives.
