Easttown Township seeks proposals from qualified consultants to conduct an Inspection-Level Historic Property Survey in accordance with the standards of the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (PA-SHPO). The survey will document architectural resources within the boundaries of Easttown Township and will be used to support planning, preservation, and regulatory review.
The project will update and verify information for all properties currently included in the Township's Historic Resource Survey (HRS) and evaluate additional properties for potential inclusion. The final survey will repeal and replace the existing HRS in its entirety, resulting in a uniform, accurate, and consistent record for each surveyed property.
Why is it important?
Under Township Ordinance No. 375-07, the Historical Commission is responsible for identifying significant architectural, historical, and natural resources, and maintaining a detailed inventory and mapping of those resources. The HRS has been compiled over the last 30 years through numerous volunteer efforts. Updating and expanding the HRS is essential to improving the accuracy, completeness and consistency of the survey data by:
- Completing a full inspection-level survey of all currently listed HRS properties; and
- Evaluating additional properties for historical significance and eligibility for inclusion.
