Friday, April 2, 2010	9:30AM	Selectman's Meeting Room Second Floor Town Office Building 1625 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington, MA 02420	First Friday Forum - Impasse on Historic Buildings in Lexington. This forum will be an open discussion of Lexington's decisions regarding the preservation and use of potentially historic structures, both publicly and privately owned, specifically addressing four buildings in town: The "White House" (former School Administration Building) The Stone Building (former East Lexington Library) The Munroe School (housing the Munroe Arts Center) The residence on the grounds of St. Brigid's Church. Representatives of the Lexington Historical and Historic Districts Commissions, as well as representatives of St. Brigid's Parish and the Munroe Arts Center are invited. Pat Goddard, the Town Director of Facilities, will provide information on the varying status of the municipal buildings and the projected cost of different levels of preservation, repair and restoration. While the First Friday Forum is intended to be a frank discussion, not a debate, we will hear from those who favor preservation of particular buildings and those who believe that they are either too expensive or too deteriorated to preserve. How can the Town develop a fair, wise and open policy going forward?
