The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Stokes-Snider House, 324 N. Fulton St.
The alliance is known for hosting a candidates’ forum during municipal election years and organizing the annual Buy History open house event featuring historic homes for sale.
The alliance encourages support of the revitalization of Salisbury’s historic neighborhoods and serves as an open channel of communication and education among neighborhoods.
Members also identify issues of common concern among historic neighborhoods and work to resolve them.
The organization needs support from residents and neighborhood groups and operates on the premise that what has an effect on one historic neighborhood affects them all.
