interior of the Buckman Tavern. She explained that there were four components to the proposed work; (1) accessibility upgrades, (2) fire suppression work, (3) historic fabric restoration, and (4) repairs to the infrastructure (wiring, plumbing, etc.). She noted that the only external change to the building would be the expansion of the cupola, which would house the ADA lift needed for access to the second floor. She said renovations to the paths around the Tavern would be coordinated with Davie Pinsonneault, Director of Operations for the DPW, since he would be renovating the paths on the green and its environs. She reviewed the budget and plans with the CPC, and noted that the Historic Districts Commission had reviewed and informally expressed support for the project. Mr. Kanter asked Ms. Bennett whether she had resolved the issues the Historical Society had had regarding procurement practices, and she responded that they had been resolved to the satisfaction of the Society and the Town. Ms. Manz asked Ms. Bennett whether the Buckman Tavern project would be the last large house renovation conducted by the Society. Ms. Bennett replied that it would be the last project under the Society's current stewardship, but that she anticipated the Society's involvement in future projects such as the interior renovations to the Stone Building and potentially the preservation of Mid -Century Modern homes.
