<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know of any MA municipalities that are leasing a historic property, or space within a historic property, and depositing the revenue into a revolving fund pursuant to MGL Chapter 40, Section 3, and using the fund to pay for the maintenance
(or preservation) of the property? If so, would you kindly share some information and leads with me so I can learn more about how things are working. I’m especially interested in projects that have resulted in what a town or city deems historic preservation.<o:p></o:p></p>
