Community Preservation Committee recommends FY27 budget and approves multiple eligibility requests

The Community Preservation Committee voted unanimously to recommend the FY27 Community Preservation Act (CPA) budget to the town council after reviewing projected revenues and required set-asides. Carlton Hunt, vice chair, said the town finance director estimated roughly $950,000 in local receipts and a state match of about $147,250, producing a revenue plan that the committee balanced with required 10% allocations to preservation buckets and a 5% administrative cap.
