Come “shopping” with us tonight. How would YOU spend $20 million on homes, parks and preservation? Last November, Boston residents voted overwhelingly to pass the Community Preservation Act in a campaign led by Yes for a Better Boston and MAHA. Now, the city prepares to spend $20 million on affordable housing, parks, and historic preservation. But first, a committee of nine Boston residents will be appointed to recommend CPA spending. And you can apply from now through November 9th to be on that committee. Join us on October 19th at the Franklin Park clubhouse from 6-7:30pm and learn more about how to apply and offer your suggestions about how to spend the dollars in your neighborhood.
In historic Faneuil Hall on August 2nd, Boston's City Council unanimously passed an ordinance creating a committee to recommend proposed investments, nine months after voters approved the Community Preservation Act (CPA) by a nearly 3 to 1 margin.
MAHA held its annual meeting on December 5th and celebrated the adoption of the Community Preservation Act in Boston with 74% of voters approving question 5 this November.
