Greenfield CPC extends four project deadlines, resets allocation percentages to minimums

Other Committee · Meeting of May 28, 2026

Greenfield's Community Preservation Committee reset its housing allocation to the 10 percent legal minimum and extended deadlines for four active projects at its May 28 meeting. The committee voted unanimously to drop housing's share from 30 percent to 10 percent — matching historic preservation and open space — and designate the remaining 65 percent as flexible funding, with $348,000 confirmed available for fiscal year 2027 spending. The Oxbow Design Builds affordable homeownership project at 187 Hope Street received a one-year extension after securing a state Neighborhood Stabilization Program award covering the bulk of its construction costs; staff administrator Anna said Oxbow is about three months from breaking ground on two perpetually affordable cooperative units.

The Greenfield Housing Authority's security deposit assistance program received a three-month extension, with GHA's Jack reporting three applications actively processing and one approval expected by June 1. The committee also unanimously adopted a revised funding cycle policy requiring applicants seeking additional funds to resubmit a pre-application, and voted to skip June and reconvene July 23.
