This action allows <br />for the approval of a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract), which <br />provides a property tax reduction whereby property owners agree to reinvest the tax <br />savings towards the maintenance of the historic property. Additionally, the agreement <br />prevents inappropriate alterations to the protected historic structure(s).
