CARLISLE — Historical Commission unanimously approves February minutes and names Colby Mauke as liaison to the Bog House affordable housing conversion project.

Members discussed recruitment for two alternate and one full-time vacancy, targeting April newsletter publication and May open house.
Co-Chair Ben Herter reported the fire station renovation project is advancing toward Spring Town Meeting but flagged concerns about the design's scale and urban character relative to Carlisle's rural setting; members agreed to draft comments on landscaping and contextual design. The revolving fund holds $1,759.56 and the Commission maintained its $3,000 annual expenditure limit.
