CPA Projects – Detailed Report

Purchase and preserve approximately 21 acres of open space at Kesseler Woods, through a combination of City ownership and conservation restrictions. All CPA funding was counted for open space, but together the City's bidding agreement and special permit required its private partner's multifamily development to include 13 units of affordable housing for households at or below 50, 65 and 80 percent of area median income.
