2006 Matching Funds Distributed - 100% Match!

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

On October 13, 2006, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue distributed $58.6 million dollars to 102 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.
