Boston Globe Endorses State Contribution to CPA Trust Fund

Aug. 21, 2014: In a recent editorial, The Boston Globe highlights the importance of the state's recent finanicial committments toward community preservation work across the Commonwealth. CPA towns and cities benefitted from this committment through the transfer of an additional $25 million to the statewide CPA Trust Fund from the state's budget surplus in 2013 and again in 2014. As a result, each of the 155 current CPA communities will receive significantly higher Trust Fund distributions, enabling the trend of preservation work to continue. 

The article also notes that the recent investments in saving Massachusetts most valued resources marks a shift from years of "lost land" throughout the 1980s and 1990s, right before the Commmunity Preservation Act's debut in 2000. See below to read the editorial in its entirety:
