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.
