What is the Community Preservation Act?

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) is a Massachusetts law that provides a local community preservation fund for open space protection, historic rehabilitation, affordable housing and outdoor recreation in the City of Holyoke. Approved by voters in 2016, funds for the program are generated through a surcharge of 1.5% and an annual disbursement from the statewide Community Preservation Trust Fund. The program is led by the Community Preservation Act Committee (CPAC), a nine-member volunteer committee with the support of a staff member.

Please visit the CPAC website for complete information about projects, forms, and applications!
