Sudbury Seeks Open Space, Housing And Preservation Project Ideas

SUDBURY, MA — Sudbury residents and organizations with preservation, housing or recreation projects can now apply for the town's next round of Community Preservation Act funding.

The Community Preservation Committee is accepting qualifying proposals for open space and recreation, historic preservation and community housing projects, the town announced on Monday. Projects recommended by the committee will be presented at the May 2027 Annual Town Meeting.

Applications are due by noon on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered for FY28 CPA funding, according to the town.

The CPA allows Massachusetts communities to create local funds for open space protection, historic preservation, affordable housing and outdoor recreation, according to the Community Preservation Coalition. CPA money is raised locally through a property tax surcharge of no more than 3 percent and communities may also receive state matching funds, according to the coalition.

The town says applicants may contact town staff for help with questions or project proposals. Staff can review applications and direct applicants to additional information when needed.

Applications, attachments and supporting documents should be submitted by email to Ryan Poteat, Sudbury's community preservation coordinator, at PoteatR@sudbury.ma.us. Poteat can also be reached at 978-639-3388.
