Category: Design Review Committee

The Design Review Committee of the Charlestown Preservation Society Board plays a central role in upholding the architectural and historic character of the neighborhood by evaluating proposed development and renovation projects—ranging from small homeowner improvements to large-scale Article 80 and Planned Development Area (PDA) projects. The committee brings together expertise in architecture, historic preservation, real estate development, and community planning. This committee typically meets monthly or as needed depending on the volume of project proposals. Members often conduct site visits, review architectural drawings, meet with city and state agencies, and meet with applicants to support constructive, preservation-forward outcomes.
