Kendal Common committee plans written, web and video outreach rollout

WESTON -- October 13, 2022, Kendal Common Study Committee sequences a written, web and video introduction to the historic Weston neighborhood. At its Oct. 13 meeting, members agreed to publish a one-page historical summary by member David first, launch a dedicated committee landing page on the town website with members, mission and timeline, and then release a short introductory video produced by member Rick from a recorded Zoom session. Consultant Stacey Spies has begun Phase 1 of her Massachusetts Historical Commission-approved contract, surveying field cards and permit archives for what was scoped as 105 buildings, currently 99 on the list, with an approximate Oct. 28 deadline and overall work continuing through next summer. Member Alicia pressed for a visible timeline so residents understand the multi-year schedule, warning they "probably think it's going to be happening sooner." Members also asked staff for an update on the French Road house stop-work order, which Rick called "our poster child." Next meeting: Nov. 10 at 9:30 a.m.
