The @CityofBoston adopted the #CommunityPreservationAct in 2016, and it’s easy to see the fruits of their investments into affordable housing production. $1M in CPA funds helped transform a vacant police station into 40 new units of housing for residents.

MA legislature passed the Economic Development Bill & sent it to Gov Baker’s desk! Included in the bill was $3.5 million in funding to expand STASH across the state! We are grateful to @BrendanCrighton and @skpeake for believing in our innovative program. #firstgenfriday #mapoli

Let’s stop leaving money on the table! Approving the CPA referendum will build a dedicated funding stream for outdoor recreation, historic preservation, affordable housing, and open space projects. These are improvements that otherwise would not be possible. @cdory28167 @cdempc

[Nika Elugardo @NikaElugardo]

CPA has been a great way to get projects done in parts of my district. I hope we get that opportunity in Brookline too!

[Yes Better Boston @YesBetterBoston]

Passed! $25 million in CPA projects across the city. Brings the total to $92 million over 198 projects since CPA was passed by Boston voters in 2016. #bospoli

74% of Boston voters said YES in 2016 and CPA keeps on delivering. #bospoli

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

Projects supported by funding through the Community Preservation Act are a reflection of the needs and voices of the residents in our neighborhoods.

Our latest recommendation for Community Preservation Act funding totals $25.5 million for 67 projects around the @CityofBoston.

This spring, Kuehn’s Way will be dedicated in memory of Bob Kuehn, one of the early visionaries of the #CommunityPreservationAct. Four towns on Martha's Vineyard contributed over $1 million in CPA funds for this housing & land conservation project.

The first 20 years of the #CommunityPreservationAct resulted in 186 communities raising over $2.5 billion for open space, recreation, affordable housing, and historic preservation.

Happy new year to every CPA advocate statewide - and here's to 20 more years of CPA success!

Do not understand why you would set a date for office reopenings without yet having an approved plan for rapid response testing at scale — ie for an outbreak at a workplace, or a congregation. Very concerned about wrong order here, @MassGovernor. #publichealth #bospoli #mapoli
