Community Preservation Committee - 06/24/2026

The Town of Bridgewater's Community Preservation Committee met on June 24, 2026, to discuss various ongoing and upcoming projects funded through the Community Preservation Act (CPA). Key procurement-related topics included the approval of an $8,000 match from FY27 administrative funds to support a state cultural grant for an interior historical assessment of the old Townhouse building, with a motion passed unanimously. Updates were provided on several projects, including the survey and potential conservation restrictions on town-owned properties, restoration work on historic cemeteries with a forthcoming RFP expected in August, and a sole-source purchase justification being prepared for restoration of a historic fire apparatus. The committee also discussed the need for liaisons to oversee projects and improvements to the application process for CPA funding. No new business or public comments were noted, and the committee emphasized ongoing coordination with town departments and external consultants to advance capital improvement and preservation projects.
