Community Preservation Historic Category “Union Cemetery Invasives Removal Project”
 To see if the Town will vote, pursuant to G.L. c.44B, §6, to appropriate from the Community Preservation Fund Historic Reserve Account the amount of $12,000 (Twelve Thousand dollars) to preserve the Union Cemetery for the purpose of funding improvements to preserve and protect Union Cemetery, including the removal of invasive vegetation around gravesites; removal of the stump of a toppled pine tree and restoration of the damaged gravesite; the restoration of the Cemetery shed; and the restoration and rehabilitation of Cemetery land and surrounding tree-line perimeter and stone wall including the leveling and re-graveling of the internal cemetery road as recommended by the Georgetown Historical Commission. Any funds from this appropriation remaining unspent after a period of 3 years from the date of the approval of this article will be returned to the Community Preservation fund only after a vote by the Community Preservation Committee determining that it is unlikely the remaining appropriated funds will need to be spent to this effect; or take any other action in relation thereto.
