Smyrna boards review historic applications, discuss distillery loan; council meeting canceled
Two Smyrna boards met in the past two weeks to consider historic-preservation work and a potential loan for Painted Stave Distillery, but no final votes or decisions have been published yet. Meanwhile, the Town Council meeting scheduled for Monday was canceled.
Historic District Review Board
The Historic District Review Board met June 25 to evaluate three property applications for exterior modifications in the historic district. The agenda included:
- **138 N Main St**: New roof and gutters
- **45 W South St**: Siding and window replacement
- **144 S Main St**: Modifications to Duplex A & B
Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so no vote tallies or decisions are available. Residents with properties in the historic district typically must receive board approval before making exterior changes.
Smyrna Slum Clearance and Redevelopment Authority
The Smyrna Slum Clearance and Redevelopment Authority met July 2 to discuss a facade grant and a loan request. Agenda items included:
- A facade grant for property at **215 W. Mt. Vernon St** (applicant Leslie Denver)
- A loan request from **Painted Stave Distillery**
- A review of the organization's mission, guiding principles, and goals
No dollar amounts were specified in the agenda, and no minutes have been published. The distillery loan, if approved, could affect redevelopment efforts in the area.
Coming up
The next scheduled meeting of the Smyrna Mayor & Council was set for July 6 but has been canceled. The agenda contained only procedural items and public comment periods; no old or new business was listed. Residents who planned to attend should check the town's website for future dates.
