The Application for Eligibility enables the CPC to review the request to ensure eligibility and offer guidance. If eligible, an Application for Funding must then be completed.

The Town of Scituate is pleased to be able to make CPA funds available as a resource to applicants who propose projects that will benefit the Town of Scituate, meet the requirement of the CPA, including generally one or more of the following components:

The Community Preservation Committee (“CPC” or the “Committee”) encourages applicants to propose projects that encompass more than one of the above categories. Use of CPA funds may not include uses not allowed by the CPA, including maintenance of real or personal property or use of land for a stadium, gymnasium or similar structures.

The recording of a deed restriction affecting the real property portion of any a project is required on any projects utilizing CPA funding, by the CPA and the rules of the CPC.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Application, ALL proposed projects must meet the requirements of the CPA set forth in M.G.L. 44B, Chapter 267 of the Acts of 2000 and Chapter 165 of the Acts of 2002, as it may be amended. Copies of the CPA are available at Clerk’s Office in Scituate Town Hall and online at http://www.massachusettslaws.com.
