VOL. V NO. 05 03/01/2024

Community Preservation Committee (CPC), February 22, 2024, Hybrid

This year CPC had more money to allocate than ever before — approximately $1,100,000. Requests were $1,801,526.

CPC reviewed and discussed every request. CPC recommended the amount requested in a few cases, and then recommended 35% of the amount requested in all the others. CPC recommended that every institution receive some CPC support. The process allowed CPC to put over $400,000 in an undesignated fund for future requests. It is anticipated that the state will not match CPC funds leaving a much smaller pot to award in the coming years. 

When it becomes available SU will attach the list with the exact amount and use of award recommended. In the meanwhile, the following are the organizations that requested funds and that CPC recommended they receive. These recommendations will go to Town Meeting.

  • Stockbridge Housing Authority
  • Stockbridge Affordable Housing Trust
  • Riverbrook
  • Construct (Pine Woods)
  • St Joseph’s
  • St. Paul’s
  • Stockbridge Library
  • Berkshire Waldorf High School
  • Berkshire Theater Group
  • Friends of Gould Meadows
  • Town of Stockbridge
  • Stockbridge Bowl Association
  • Kripalu
  • Guerrieri Block
  • Stockbridge Cemetery

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!
