Created over 18 years ago to preserve this historic Everett resource, the Norton Grand Historic Neighborhood faces challenges today. Residents would like to partner with the City of Everett Planning Department and City Council to create "buffer zones" to protect the areas in and around the Historic Overlay.
Creating buffer zones will reduce the negative impact of current Metro Everett and ReThink Zoning development, and preserve and protect the character, livability and historic resources of one of Everett's most important historic neighborhoods.
