The CPC will give favorable consideration to those proposals which best meet our guidelines and are consistent with Lexington goals in the areas of open space; real4on-, historic resources,., ar ff-community housing .-t➢➢, :...iL.!�aljoi➢ . The CPC does not have the power to appropriate funds for particular projects, only to make recommendations to Town Meeting. Under the law, the power to appropriate CPA funds is reserved solely for Town Meeting, acting only upon the recommendations of the CPC. For these reasons, we want to provide a strong and consistent rationale for our recommendations. The CPC seeks a Town -wide and long-term perspective. It expects to recommend projects that will have a significant long-term impact on the Town. We may choose to recommend to Town Meeting that some or all of CPA funds be "banked" or reserved for significant projects and opportunities in the future. We are seeking to create an effective process through which organizations and citizens may gain access to the CPA funds for projects that will enhance our Town.
