Community Preservation Act Committee

Community Preservation Act Committee Program, 2020-2021

Review CPA (Community Preservation Act) applications.

It is our intent to place a greater focus on CPA proposals and establish a more flexible and consistent methodology in how we accomplish this goal. In addition, the League will review how CPA funds are being utilized by the city in relation to the purpose and intent of the Community Preservation Act.

Any LWVN member interested in joining the Community Preservation Act Committee please Contact Us.

Information on the Community Preservation Act

The Massachusetts Community Preservation Act (CPA) provides local and state funds for affordable housing, historic resources, open space and recreation land.

Information on the CPA and how Newton applies the CPA to local programs and initiatives can be found on the City of Newton’s CPA Page.

Information about projects currently under consideration by the Newton Community Preservation Commission can be found on the City’s Community Preservation Program Page.
