Seekonk Community Preservation Committee Seeks Applications For The Seekonk June Town Meeting

The Community Preservation Act was adopted by Seekonk voters in 2009 to fund projects that would otherwise be unaffordable by the Town. Areas covered by the Act are Affordable Community Housing, Historic preservation, Preservation of open space and Recreation.

The Committee has no warrant articles for the November Town Meeting but is eager to accept applications for the June Town meeting in the areas above. Applications need to be in place 120 days before the meeting so the Committee can do due diligence and secure a place on the warrant.

Recently the Town has established an Open Space, Parks and Recreation Committee and we expect some of the ideas generated to result in applications. Other applications are encouraged, of course.

The Committee meets on an irregular basis. Meetings are posted at Town Hall, on TV 9 and on the Town web site. There is also an annual public meeting, usually in the summer, where interested people can find out more about the Community Preservation Act and ask questions about any projects they have in mind.

More information can be found on the Town web site: http://www.seekonk-ma.gov/pages/SeekonkMA_BComm/Preservation/index and at www.Communitypreservation.org.
