How does the CPC decide whether to recommend a project for funding?

After reviewing the applications within the committee and, as appropriate, with Town Counsel to confirm eligibility or other parameters, the CPC meets with applicants to discuss their applications, often requesting revisions to the scope of the project or the amount requested, refinements, or additional information. Based on its assessment of each application relative to available funds, competing applications, and the criteria established by the CPA, the CPC then votes whether or not to recommend at Town Meeting which project(s) should be funded with CPA monies.
