Massachusetts town to buy historic courthouse for preservation
The town of Plymouth, Massachusetts has agreed to buy the 1820 Courthouse and County Commissioners’ building for historic preservation. They voted last spring in favor of spending up to $1.4 million from Community Preservation Act funds to buy and preserve the buildings, which have a suggested market value of $810,000. It will cost approximately $626,360 to clean up the properties based on an environmental assessment done by Atlantic Environmental Technologies. Large amounts of lead and asbestos will have to be abated, and three underground storage tanks must be removed.
