1. The acquisition, creation and preservation of open space

2. The acquisition and preservation of historic resources

3. The acquisition, creation and preservation of land for recreational use and rehabilitation of recreational facilities

4. The creation, preservation and support of community housing

Requests must be received by October 15 of each year to be considered for recommendation at the Annual Town Meeting in April. Unless an applicant can demonstrate that a significant opportunity would otherwise be lost, applications submitted after this date will be considered for the fall Special Town Meeting.
