2010 Report of the Southborough Community Preservation Committee

Community Preservation Committee

The economy has begun to rebound and the CPC finances remain consistent. The April 2010 Annual

Town Meeting voted to accept our recommendations to appropriate from Community Preservation

Act (CPA) funds: $70,000 for the Southborough Affordable Housing Trust; $186,277.50 as payment

Towards the bond for the Chestnut Hill Farm Conservation Restriction; $50,000 for preconstruction costs for the creation of the Stony Brook Museum; $42,360 towards completion of the Southborough Triangle Park; and $13,500 for a schematic architectural design to rehabilitate the Southborough Police Station.

This year saw the substantial completion of the Southborough Triangle Park. Part of the Oral

History project is now ready for publication. The affordable house on Parkerville Road is ready for a

lottery. The rehabilitation of South Union School is also substantially complete.

This fall seven projects for CPA funds were presented to the CPC for their consideration. One

was withdrawn early and another not recommended. At their November 18, 2010, meeting, the CPC voted to recommend to the 2011 Annual Town Meeting that they grant: $21,000 towards the establishment of a National Register Historic District for the Southborough Village Center; $4,000 for a Beach Volleyball Court on Margaret Neary School grounds; $36,172.12 to the Southborough Affordable Housing Trust;

$133,000 for a Playground and Splash Pad at South Union School; and $189,374.28 towards payment of the bond for the Chestnut Hill Farm Conservation Restriction.

The CPC regrets the resignations of Dana Cunningham of the Planning Board, one of our original

members, and Tara Bayko from SHOPC. We welcome Paul Cimino as the representative from the

Planning Board, Susan Chorey as the representative from SHOPC, and the return of Joseph Hubley as the representative from the Historical Commission.

The Southborough Historical Society asked for monies for repairs to the historic Southborough Flagg School which houses the Town's museum and historic artifacts.  With the monies that passed at this years Annual Town Meeting the project will fund for rebuilding of the side steps, repairs to the windows to keep them in historic perspective, install a HVAC system, tear down and rebuild the chimney, painting and trim work.  The Recreation Department recently moved out of the Flagg School to the Southborough Art Center, therefore giving the Historical Society more room for their exhibits.
