Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Town of Hanover, in its wisdom, accepted the provisions of the Community Preservation Act in November of 2004. Each year since then we have debated and discussed CPC by-laws, recommendations and expenditures. One of the resulting requirements is a yearly public hearing regarding proposed CPC projects. I hear that this year there are 9 such applications! If you want to get the inside scoop and weigh in on some projects that will surely resurface at this coming May’s Annual Town Meeting, this hearing is the place to do it. Hope to see you there!
