Community Preservation Committee

The Community Preservation Act was adopted by Pembroke voters in 2006 and establishes a funding source financed by surcharge revenues, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for the purpose of open space, historical preservation and community housing projects and purchases. The Community Preservation Act has been a tremendous asset to the town by providing funds to complete many worthwhile projects without utilizing the town’s general funds.  

The composition of the committee, the appointing authority and the term of office for the committee members shall be as follows

* one member of the conservation commission, as designated by the commission;

* one member of the historical commission, as designated by the commission;

* one member of the planning board, as designated by the board;

* one member of the housing authority, as designated by the authority;

* one member of the DPW, as designated by the commission;

* one member of the open space committee, as designated by the committee;

* one member of the recreation commission, as designated by the commission; and,

* two members to be appointed by the board of selectmen.

All members serve a 3-year term.

** Applications for funding for the spring town meeting are due on February 1. Applications for funding for the fall town meeting (if there is one) are due on August 1. The committee will meet to review applications within fourteen (14) days of these deadlines, so please be sure you are available to attend a meeting during this time.**
