Community Preservation Plan
Manchester by-the-Sea's Community Preservation Plan, prepared by JM Goldson in 2015, focuses on ways that Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds can help to enhance the community's unique identity as a small picturesque Cape Ann town.
The Manchester-by-the-Sea plan recommends funding for initiatives that:
Promote community spirit, diversity, and vitality
Support continued vibrancy of downtown Manchester and enhance tourism opportunities related to the community’s historic resources and natural beauty
Protect at-risk natural resources
Enhance public enjoyment of natural and historic resources
