The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee met on February 12, 2014, with all five members present. The board approved the minutes from the January 8 meeting. An employee reported that the township is applying for a Certified Local Government grant of $12,500, with matching funds from the township, for a market analysis to evaluate economic conditions and revitalization strategies for the proposed village district overlay. The application is due February 20, and the employee is awaiting letters of support from state legislators and the Old Moon Township Historical Society president. The employee also announced that the Old Moon Township Historical Society held a joint dinner with the Sewickley Historical Society on January 23. The board discussed a request from a resident for arrowheads for a new project; a committee member offered some from the old Doughty farm and recommended the resident contact another resident for additional items. The employee noted that MCA-TV’s Public Awareness Weekend is March 14-15, and a committee member suggested using the event to promote Mooncrest, the Preservation Plan, and local history. Members were reminded to reserve a time slot. Under old business, the employee provided an update on the Preservation Plan. She received the second draft and reported that it was presented to the Planning Commission on January 15 and to the Board of Supervisors at their January 29 workshop. Both bodies will have a month to review and comment. A consultant will attend the February workshop to answer questions and will present at the televised meeting on April 2. A committee member and the employee gave a brief update on the Mooncrest booklet: photos are labeled, the foreword is written, and the committee member plans to meet with a professor from Robert Morris University, though he expressed concern the booklet is light on material. The employee asked for a draft copy. She also discussed possible grant applications for the Boggs School House, a Mooncrest feasibility study, and assistance with updating the Standard Guidelines. A committee member requested a dedicated phone line for the board to reduce calls to the employee, who said she would inquire. She noted a call from the son of the first Municipal Authority Manager, who is wheelchair-bound and willing to share stories if someone visits him. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. The next meeting is March 12 at 5:30 p.m.The Mooncrest Historic Overlay Advisory Committee met on February 12, 2014, with all five members present.
