Shrewsbury – The Shrewsbury Board of Selectmen discussed the implementation of the recently adopted Community Preservation Act (CPA) at their Nov. 24 meeting.
Ballot Question 4 was successful at the Nov. 3 General Election and the town is now charged with creating a local funding source dedicated for open space preservation, historic preservation affordable housing, and the acquisition and development of outdoor recreational facilities.
Town Manager Kevin Mizikar stated that he was looking for direction from the Board on proceeding with that task.
He noted that culling through the requirements of the CPA will take a tremendous effort on the part of his staff.
“My current thought is that we would have a draft bylaw and some related documents to you by the end of March…” he added.
