MISSION
Invest in community housing, historic
resources, open space &
recreation land
to preserve, restore & enhance Newton's character as a
community of
diverse but interdependent people & places, both a
“city of villages” and a “garden city.” |
|
|
| Newton's CPC meets monthly, and
occasionally more often. All meetings are open to the public, but time
is set aside
for public comment only at those meetings designated as "public
hearings." |
| Meeting locations are handicap
accessible. Reasonable accommodations will be provided to persons
requiring assistance. If you have a special need,
please contact Newton ADA Coordinator Kathleen
Cahill at least 2 days in advance of the meeting at
617.796.1125, via email at kcahill@newtonma.gov or via TDD/TTY at 617.796.1089. |
| To receive our monthly email about upcoming
meetings and other program news, contact Alice Ingerson at aingerson@newtonma.gov or 617.796.1144. |

DUTIES
Under the
Community Preservation Act, funds are granted through two
steps:
- the CPC recommends an amount of funding
for a project
- the local legislature votes to
appropriate up to the
recommended amount of funding
The
CPC may not appropriate funds directly, but the
legislature may not appropriate CP funds
without a CPC recommendation. Click below to learn more about the
