Mayor Richard Cohen
Agawam Town Hall

Agawam, Massachusetts 01001
Dear Mayor Cohen:
-With this letter I wish to place my name in.consideration ior reappoli4ffient to the Agawam Hisiorical Commission.
Agawam is my hometown and I am deeply interested in its history (and future). First appointed to the commission
in 1993, 1 have served as its chairman since 1994. Over the past eighteen years, the Agawam Historical Commission
has served to identify and protect the historical resources of this town through a number of initiatives, including the
creation of the Agawam Center National Register Historic District, the sponsorship of the town's Demolition Delay
Ordinance, and the expansion of Agawam's Inventory of Historic Structures. Working together with the town's
Office of Planning and Community Development, and other groups such as the Agawam Historical Association and
the Captain Charles Leonard House,on whose boards I also serve,the Agawam Historical Commission continues to
raise public awareness of Agawam's rich historical heritage.
Current priorities of the Agawam Historical Commission include:
• Update and expand the 1985 portion of Agawain's Inventory of Historic Structures
to meet current Massachusetts Historical Commission 'Standards
• Nomination of eligible properties to the National Register of Historic Places
• Oversight of improvements within the Agawam Center National Register Historic
District during the Route 159 (Main Street)Traffic & Safety Improvement Project
• Preservation of the School Street Barn
In addition to my efforts on behalf of the preservation-in 1 nd ed groups previously mentioned, I have compiled three
books on the history of Agawam: Agawam and Feeding Hills (2000), Agawam and Feeding Hills Revisited (2005),
and Riverside Park, which was published last summer.
Preservation of the town's historic resources is continually identified as a priority by residents of Agawam. I consider
it a privilege to serve the town as a member of the Agawam Historical] Commission and am proud of the work we
have accomplished. I hope that you will consider me for reappointment to this commission.
R!�pectfully submitted,
David Cccchi
