Canton Residents Gathering on Sunday to Support CPA

-Contributed by Voters for the Preservation of Canton.

The (CPA) was passed by a wide margin at our last Annual Town Meeting. However, a final step is required to make Canton one of 148 CPA communities in Massachusetts. CPA must win voter approval next April.

The state has given over $360 million in CPA funds since 2002, yet Canton has not received a penny. New funding sources are needed more than ever in these tough economic times.

• Restore and preserve our unique historic municipal buildings, churches, cemeteries and other structures.
• Promote use of open space by improving trails for walking and biking and canoeing.
• Better support of our elderly by improving handicap access, and funding senior projects.
• Improve our athletic fields.
• Create a proactive, citizen-controlled approach to defining Canton’s future.

Please consider joining your fellow Canton voters to discuss the upcoming efforts to bring CPA to Canton. The meeting is being held on Sunday, November 13 at 2:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus, 500 Pleasant St., Canton.
