# North Andover (MA) Community Preservation Committee - October 08, 2026

The North Andover Community Preservation Committee met on October 8, 2026, to review project progress, quarterly financial reports, and closeouts. The committee discussed the Great Pond Road land acquisition, where due diligence is complete and closing is expected soon, and the Barker Farm project, whose fundraising campaign is progressing toward a hoped-for year-end closing. A quarterly report showed about $28,468 remaining on an in-progress project, expected to be spent by December 2026; the funds are not available for discretionary use. Members also noted financial-reporting discrepancies and discussed remaining balances on other projects, including approximately $78,200 for Rolling Ridge and about $25,000 for the inactive 623 Osgood Street land-purchase account, which could support a parking lot or be returned to the general fund. No new contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.

The committee unanimously approved closing out six projects and returning remaining funds as appropriate; the discussion also noted a small $85.72 balance associated with the Middle School Athletic Complex/Reclex project. Members favored keeping the Zero Brad Street open-space acquisition account active, while no final action was recorded on the Osgood Street balance. The committee passed a motion to remove the notice-of-intent step from the application process for this fiscal year, changing how prospective projects will be identified and considered. Members discussed inviting project representatives to the November meeting as part of planning for the next funding cycle.
