This point layer shows properties that have received Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds for historical preservation. It includes the fiscal year in which the grants were approved and the dollar amount provided for each project. The Community Preservation Act is a State program which gives a cash match for projects in participating communities. Cambridge has participated since 2002.
Purpose
Created for the Cambridge Historical Commission (CHC) to send locational information to MassGIS so they can record CPA-funded projects. The CHC also creates a map with historic preservation projects supported by the CPA funding.
