To preserve, protect and develop the historical and archeological assets of the Town of Middleborough.

 

A primary responsibility of the Commission is the administration of the Middleborough Structure Demolition By-law which seeks to protect and preserve historically significant structures, and to encourage owners of such structures to seek out persons who might be willing to purchase, preserve, rehabilitate, restore or remove such structures rather than demolish them.

​

To achieve these objectives the Historical Commission is empowered to advise the Building Commissioner with respect to the issuance of permits for demolition as defined by the by-law.
