The Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission will review Thursday several applications for certificates of appropriateness, including the plans for additions and renovations to First United Methodist Church at 217 S. Church St.
The church’s plans drew considerable interest previously when First United Methodist demolished three century-old structures ó buildings owned by the church ó in the 100 block of West Fisher Street to make way for its expansion.
The Historic Preservation Commission meets at 5:15 p.m. Thursday in Council Chambers at City Hall, 217 S. Main St.
