MEMBERS & DUTIES
Under the Community Preservation Act, funds are granted through two steps: 
  1. the CPC recommends an amount of funding for a project 
  2. 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 members and work of the CPC:

Newton's Board of Aldermen & Its Committees
Under the Community Preservation Act, the CPC "proposes" but the local legislature "disposes" of funds. Newton's local legislature is its Board of Aldermen. Click below to learn more about the work of the Board and its committees:
