The Marlborough Community Preservation Act Committee (MCPAC) invites you to attend two forums about the Community Preservation Act (CPA) and the benefits it could provide to the City of Marlborough.
To be held at the Marlborough Public Library’s Bigelow Auditorium, 35 West Main Street, the dates and format of these forums are:
  • March 2, 2010, 6:30 PM - 8:15 PM, coffee at 6:30 PM, speaker Andrew Mills at 7:00, followed by discussion
  • April 29, 2010, 6:30 PM - 8:15 PM, panel discussion with speakers from Massachusetts’s cities and towns that have passed the CPA.  The panel moderator will be Nancy Bryant, President of the SuAsCo Watershed Community Council.

The early March and late April presentations are intended to help the public learn how the CPA can help provide funds for conservation, preservation, community housing and recreation.  We welcome you to both events and look forward to seeing you there.  Web site: MarlboroughCPA.org
