Community Preservation Committee

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) is a smart growth tool that helps communities preserve open space and historic sites, create affordable housing, and develop outdoor recreational facilities. CPA also helps strengthen the state and local economies by expanding housing opportunities and construction jobs for the Commonwealth's workforce, and by supporting the tourism industry through preservation of the Commonwealth’s historic and natural resources. The CPA was adopted in Wenham by Town Meeting in 2005. 

Wenham’s CPC welcomes and will give full consideration to all open space, historic, recreational, and housing applications that meet the criteria of the Act.  Application information can be found in that tab.  The application deadline for the 2023 Annual Town Meeting will be Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 4:00 pm at the Town Administrator's Office. Applicants must submit 1 hard copy and 1 copy electronically to mmcgovern@wenhamma.gov

Check back often for updates to the application submittal process.
