Neighborhood character is an essential element of quality of life for Salem residents. Due to diverse styles of architecture, house and lot sizes and landscaping, Salem’s neighborhoods are each unique. How do we preserve this character while allowing for new development and owners’ personal taste? This is the subject of a 2008 Department of Planning and Community Development study, which focuses on Neighborhood Preservation Districts as a tool to protect neighborhood character.
