Members were invited by Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell and charged with weighing three issues. By Linda K. Harris Inquirer Staff Writer A task force assembled by City Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell to study issues surrounding historic preservation in Philadelphia met yesterday for the first time to discuss the three priorities set as the group's agenda. The councilwoman, who represents the Third District in West Philadelphia, sent a letter last week inviting the task force to address the following issues: What is the appropriate way to determine whether there is community support for the designation of a historic district or historic structures? What procedures or programs can ensure that low- and moderate-income homeowners in historic districts are not adversely affected when they need to make property improvements? How can the need to assemble land and remove blighting buildings in neighborhoods, particularly those designated for Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI) efforts, or within active redevelopment areas, be balanced with historic preservation issues? http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/states/pennsylvania/8751229.htm ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
