From Mr. Baker Smith, Chair of the Community Preservation Committee (CPC),
I am writing to remind you that the Community Preservation Committee will be holding a public hearing April 7 at 6:30 PM to hear presentations and comments on the seven proposals that are currently under review for recommendation to Town Meeting in June.
This is an excellent opportunity to hear about these projects and ask questions of the sponsors. Please extend the CPC's invitation to attend to the Select Board and members of FinCom respectively.
Yours,
Buddy Baker-Smith
Dartmouth CPC
There are 7 projects under consideration for funding this year. The CPC receives funding through a surcharge ...
... on our property tax levy and state matching funds. They may use the funds for projects which provide community preservation, affordable housing, or recreation facilities. The CPC has an application process by which they vet the priojects and will make recommendations to the Town Meeting for project funding. The Town Meeting must appropriate the money.
The CPC webpage, here on the Town's website, has more information.

Bill could you post the 7 projects that they are considering funding?
I believe the funding recommendations from CPC have been made. The meeting on wednesday was still going when I left. The clock was approaching midnight. The projects and the funding recommendations up to that point of the meeting are as follows:
YMCA Gulf Hill building restoration $300k
DNRT, Tucker Rd Dominican Sister's Farm conservation restriction $30k
MA Audubon, Stone Barn Farm building restorations one phase $221k, other two phases to be considered at the end of the meeting
Park Dept, community park between Southworth and Cushman properties, This was being heatedly debated when I left via (kindly described as) an unconventional speaker phone meeting participation method.
Clerk's office, restoration of historical town records.
Conservation Commission, expansion and improvements to Paskamansett Park
Town of Dart, adaptive re-use plan for former Russell's Mills Library
