CPA Update

December 2013

Dear ,

 

One of our major goals for 2014 is to convince the state legislature to renew the additional $25 million state contribution to the CPA Trust Fund, and we need your help to make it happen.

 

Please make plans to attend our CPA celebration at the State House on Tuesday, January 14th from 10:30am to 11:30am.

A large turnout will demonstrate the importance of Community Preservation to our legislators on Beacon Hill. We'll present our Kuehn Community Preservation Awards to CPA heroes from across the state, and then attendees will have the opportunity to visit the office of local legislators to discuss renewing the state's $25 million contribution to the CPA Trust Fund.
