Title
DESIGNATING HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN BARRIE
Tomasz Wierzba, Planner discussed the three lists he distributed to Committee members regarding designated properties, properties that are not designated but are on the walking tour, and properties that the Committee identified as having cultural heritage, value, and/or interest.
The Committee discussed properties not yet listed for designation, added properties to the current list, potential incentives for homeowners designating their properties such as tax rebates or reductions, understanding the differences between being listed and designated, and the restrictions and responsibilities. The Committee provided Mr. Wierzba with a list of properties to investigate with the potential of heritage designation.
A member of the Committee advised they will research other municipalities’ incentives to provide to their designated property owners and report back to the Committee.
