Community Preservation Committee

Town Meeting approved creation of a local Community Preservation Committee (CPC) in May of 2001. This Committee provides recommendations to Town Meeting on various project applications. Since 2001 the 2% local surcharge has collected approximately $15.5 million which has been matched by a 46% State contribution of more than $7 million. A minimum of ten percent of each year’s revenue must be allocated to spending in each of three categories – affordable housing, historic preservation and open space/recreation.

Meeting Schedule

The Committee meets the first Tuesday of the month at 7PM in the Selectmen's Chambers on the Lower Level of Town Hall, 62 Arlington St, Dracut. 

Meetings are listed in the calendar on the website's home page and on the right-hand side of this page. You can get notified of upcoming Community Preservation Committee Meetings.
