Hearing that someone has started an organization dedicated to the preservation of Newburyport is great news. The Newburyport Preservation Trust is something that is long over due in this city and I can’t wait to learn more about it.

I hope that its founder, Linda Miller, or one of its members, may post on this blog, and enlighten us to exactly what the Trust’s short term and long term goals are. Also, perhaps they could further explain exactly what membership would entail, as I am sure there are many citizens that are interested in having more information.

I wish the Trust all the good fortune in the world, and I wish to thank them for taking the first steps in preserving and maintaining the city which we have all come to love.
