Proposals & Projects
| About This Page |
| The links below lead to pages with contact information & the full text of major documents about each proposal or project. Housing projects are listed here by street name. Documents are posted as submitted, without proofreading or editing. For listed projects that do not yet have a live link, please contact staff. |
| After clicking on each link, you may need to scroll down to find the project listed -- some pages include multiple projects. |
|
For most up-to-date status, see this link under 'Reports - Current': Pending Pre- & Full Proposals.
|
| To comment on a proposal, please contact staff for help as early as possible. The CPC accepts in-person comments at a public hearing on every proposal, as well as written comments submitted in advance of the hearing. Deadlines for written comments are set early enough so the Committee can read these comments before voting on whether to recommend project funding, which it may do immediately after the hearing. The Calendar (under 'News, Calendar, Contact' above) lists both upcoming submission deadlines and hearing dates. The Committee strives to post full proposals at least 3 weeks before their public hearings (from this page), and full agendas for meetings that are not hearings at least 7 days in advance (from 'Committees & Meetings' above). |
| * Projects marked with an asterisk have submitted only pre-proposals to date. The CPC will actively solicit public comments and hold public hearings on these projects once it receives their full proposals. |
| * Affordable Housing Trust |
| * Allen House (historic resources) |
