Westfield City Council rejects move to rescind Community Preservation Act

Good news for our Town, As reported in the media, the Community Preservation Act is safe, for now.

The measure assesses property owners one-percent of their property taxes to raise funds for preservation of historic property and buildings, open space and housing. It exempts the first $100,000 of property valuation.
