The Shutesbury CPC has gathered information and studied the town’s
needs, possibilities and resources regarding community
preservation. This included a preliminary evaluation of historic
preservation, open space and community housing opportunities in town,
hearing from other town committees, a public hearing, and from
reviewing other town plans. We have also reviewed related guidelines
and/or criteria from a number Community Preservation Act communities,
With information gathered from this collaborative process the
Shutesbury CPC established it ‘Guidelines’ for priority use of
Community Preservation Act funds.
