Thanks to your hard work, a majority of legislators in both chambers at the State House signed on to support CPA: 25 state senators and 89 state representatives joined lead sponsors Cynthia Stone Creem and Stephen Kulik in supporting "An Act to Sustain Community Preservation." To see the full list of all 116 legislative supporters, click here. 

This is a significant increase from last session, and we are grateful to have such a strong show of support for CPA. We are awaiting the assignment of the bill to a legislative committee, which should occur later this month, followed by a hearing at the State House. We will keep you updated as the bill progresses!

THANK YOU to every CPA advocate who took action over these past few weeks -- we couldn't have built such an impressive list of legislator support without your help! 

Are your legislators on the list of co-sponsors? If so, we encourage you to send a note of thanks, or write a 'Letter to the Editor' to your local newspaper.  Click here for a sample letter that you can use.

2010 was a fantastic year for CPA and the Community Preservation Coalition. Through the work of dedicated CPA supporters, the number of approved CPA projects passed the 4,000 mark in 2010, and total statewide funding generated by the program since passage reached $925 million. As CPA marks its 10th anniversary year, the accomplishments of the Act are impressive. 

The Coalition's 2010 Annual Report highlights the successes of CPA to date, and describes the work of the Coalition in the past year including legislative action, technical assistance to CPA communities, CPA conferences and more.
