Community Preservation Committee

Mission Statement
The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) will strive to be a catalyst toward future projects in the areas of open space, new recreational spaces, community housing, and hsitoric preservation via CPA funding; will utilize community goals set forth in documents such as the Master Plan and the Open Space & Recreation Plan which have received wide scrutiny and public input; will attempt to meet multiple community preservation goals; and will communicate its mission and goals to the general public.

West Bridgewater’s Community Preservation Committee is updating its plan to guide the allocation of Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds over the next five years. The Committee would like your input to help determine goals and priorities for selecting and funding projects in the four CPA funding categories: 1) active outdoor recreation; 2) community housing; 3) historic preservation; 4) open space and passive recreation.

As part of this process, JM Goldson LLC is working with the Community Preservation Committee to update the plan. To support this effort, the project team has developed a short survey, which will capture opinions on local needs and preferences for acquiring and protecting open space, creating new recreational opportunities, preserving historic resources, and providing community housing over the next five years.

If you live in West Bridgewater, or have a connection with the town through work, family, or in other ways, we invite you to take the survey at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WBCPA

The survey will close on October 16, 2020 at 5PM. Please feel free to share with other members of the West Bridgewater community.

Thank you!!
