Do you have questions about the Community Preservation Act?
This November, Reading voters will weigh in on a proposed 1% Community Preservation Act (CPA) surcharge. Here you’ll find The Reading Observer’s coverage of the measure alongside town documents, meeting recaps, and voting resources, so you can see what CPA would fund and where things stand before you head to the polls.
The CPA question took shape over a series of committee meetings, presentations, and public discussions leading up to the November 3 vote. This section brings together town resources and The Reading Observer’s coverage so residents can dig into the details before deciding.
Reading’s CPA question didn’t emerge overnight; it was shaped by the Study Committee’s findings, presentations to Town Meeting, and Select Board discussion over the course of the year. Below, find The Reading Observer’s recaps of that process, following the path to the November 3 ballot.
