NORTHAMPTON — The city’s Historical Commission voted Monday night to support renovation plans saving former St. John Cantius church with $500,000 in Community Preservation Act funding.
The Commission also agreed — as part of the same 3-0 vote — to take on the responsibility of policing future work at the building should the project go through and the city have a permanent historic preservation restriction.
Owner O’Connell Development Group’s application now goes on to an as-yet-unscheduled fall meeting of the Northampton Community Preservation Committee and eventually the City Council.
