# Community Preservation Act Committee // October 14, 2026

The Marshfield Community Preservation Act Committee met on October 14, 2026, to hear presentations on funding applications; no project awards or funding recommendations were voted on. For the Ridge Road boat ramp, the applicant requested $220,000 for Phase 2, including north-side docks, an ADA ladder and concrete apron, and related work. The applicant said dock purchases would need to go through a vendor and concrete work through a construction company, and that bids could be prepared after town meeting with the aim of completing the work before the next boating season. A separate 600-foot fence proposal at 230 Webster Street was described as having a price secured through PGB Engineering using the state bid list, but no cost was stated. The committee also heard a $40,000 request to restore nine historic windows at G Hall; the facilities manager noted that changed procurement requirements have delayed work on earlier grants and that about $118,000 remains from prior funding.

Other applications included archaeological survey work at 91 Colony Lane, with the applicant considering a specialized firm familiar with the area, and a $471,531 request to stabilize and restore the Brant Rock Union Chapel clock tower, clock, and bell. The chapel proposal includes a 15% contingency and plans for Spencer Preservation Group to lead a competitive procurement process; the association also described potential applications for outside grants, including one with a stated maximum of $100,000 and another with a maximum of $275,000. The committee discussed follow-up questions, public access, preservation standards, and project financing, with further review expected at later meetings. The only recorded vote was approval of the September 9, 2026, meeting minutes; the committee also noted three land-acquisition applications were before fall town meeting.
