The CPA allows communities to create a local Community Preservation Fund to raise money through a surcharge up to 3% of local property tax to fund open space, historic preservation, affordable housing, and outdoor recreational facilities.

The West Springfield Community Preservation does a surcharge of 1% of local property tax.

The Community Preservation Fund Allowable Spending Chart is a handy quick reference to see if your project qualifies.
