2004 Matching Funds Distributed - 100% Match!

 
For the third straight year, the state has provided 100% matching funds to Community Preservation Act communities

On October 15, 2004, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue distributed $30.76 million to 61 cities and towns that had adopted the CPA and added the CPA surcharge to their property tax bills in the previous fiscal year. These state matching funds represent a 100% match of what the communities raised locally.
