Gloucester City Planning Board Ok\’s Building Improvements

By Linda Boker-Angelo

During a brief meeting last week, the Gloucester City Planning Board approved five applications for building improvements which were submitted to the Historic Commission.

A property owner in the 200 block of Third Street was given permission to replace windows and paint.

Board members then approved emergency roof replacements at both Heavy’s on the Harbor, 200 Jersey Ave.; and Heim’s Foods, 216 Powell St.

Homeowners on the 100 block of Middlesex Street were also given the nod to build a shed in their backyard, while property owners in the unit block of North King Street will now be able to replace their home’s siding and molding, and install a new soffit.

The next meeting is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 17, in City Hall.
