Two Dozen Projects Being Considered In Springfield For First CPA Grants

      Two dozen projects are being considered for funding under the new Community Preservation Act program in Springfield, Massachusetts.

     A voter-approved property tax surcharge has raised $1.3 million for the initial round of CPA funding.

     The state law requires the money be spent on historic preservation, affordable housing, or open space.

      WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Bob McCarroll, chairman of the Springfield Community Preservation Committee.
