Heritage experts are drawing up an action plan to show how £800,000 could be spent revitalising run-down parts of Dovercourt.
Harwich Conservation Panel yesterday heard further details of how the Townscape Heritage Project might be put into action.
Paul Skeet, of Essex County Council, is working on the scheme and told of areas in the town which could be set for major regeneration.
He said: "The purpose is to regenerate the historic elements of the conservation area and to look at problem buildings and how we might try to solve them.
"A lot of it is to do with repairs and the re-instatement of traditional historical details and part of it is to do with improving the economy of an area."
Lotto's Heritage Fund recently pledged nearly half-a-million pounds towards restoring buildings in the town.
The total cost of the Townscape initiative is £784,000, so the difference needs to be found in match-funding.
