CPC Public Hearing Notice

Hi Carole,

If it's not too late, could you please include the following information in your next Stockbridge Updates,

Thanks Carole! Ericka Oleson, CPC Administrator

The Town of Stockbridge Community Preservation Committee (CPC) is opening the FY 2027 Request for Proposal Application process. The public hearing will be held on October 15, 2025 at 6:00 PM in the Selectboard Meeting Room and via zoom. The application submission deadline is November 14, 2025, at noon. Copies of the CPC's Request for Proposals and submission guidelines are available in the Treasurer/Collector’s office at Town Hall or on the Town website at: stockbridge-ma.gov.

The Committee invites comments on the needs, possibilities and resources of the town regarding community preservation. It will also answer questions on its mission, guidelines and the protocol for submitting proposals.

The CPC oversees disbursements from the Community Preservation Fund and makes recommendations to the Town Meeting, which must approve all expenditures. The committee reviews projects to create/sustain affordable housing, restore historic building and sites, enhance outdoor recreation, protect open spaces through land acquisition or development rights, and create conservation areas. Priority will be given to “green” projects. Please note that funds expended pursuant to this chapter 44B shall not be used for maintenance.
