The act allowed a 3% surcharge on Property Tax bills (with certain residential exemptions) to fund affordable housing, open space and historical preservation. It was adopted by Cambridge voters in November 2001; the CPA Committee was formed by the City Manager March 2002. In July 2012, amendments to the CPA legislation now allow for greater flexibility in use of CPA Open Space funds from the first 10% allocation, including active and passive recreational uses such as parks, playgrounds, community gardens and athletic fields. Each year, at least 10% of annual CPA revenues shall be spent or set aside for later spending on open space, historic preservation and affordable housing. The remaining percentage can be used towards any of the three funding categories.
