Overview

Easthampton adopted the Community Preservation Act in 2001. The Act creates a 3% tax surcharge which generates revenue for projects addressing open space, affordable housing, historic preservation and recreation. The Committee makes recommendations to the City Council on the expenditure of those funds.
