Kathryn J. Cavanaugh and Brent Runyon, Historic Preservation Consultants, presented findings of the re-survey of the Bristol Downtown National Register District, detailing methodologies, major findings, detailed descriptions of the deliverables, and recommendations for future expansion and study for the district. Items of note included a discussion on the need to further study the former New Goree neighborhood and the effects of the US Rubber plant's construction on it, areas of potential expansion for the National Register of Historic Places district to the North and South, and the potential of adopting the recommendations for contributing and non-contributing structures, of which an updated list was proposed from the 1978 survey. Per the consultants, The current National Register of Historic Places District has not been updated since the 1970s, and this survey represents a first step to updating the district should the Town Council be inclined to do SO. No votes or actions were taken by the Commission, as this was purely a presentation of findings, however, it was determined that the Commission wished to discuss updating the district with the Director of Community Development at a future meeting.
