Brian Yates
Alderman-at-Large, Ward 5
City of Newton, MA
Community Preservation
- As a member of the Committee on Community
Preservation, I have actively participated in the City's
decisions on how to use revenues of the Community Preservation Act for open space,
historic preservation, recreation, and community housing. I have supported
City efforts to purchase Kesseler Woods, the Forte property next to Dolan
Pond, the Angino Farm, and numerous other properties suitable for open space and recreational
usage.
- I have also voted to use CPA historic preservation funds to restore
the Newton Corner Branch Library, to make long deferred by much needed
improvements to the three City Burial Grounds, and to restore City Hall to
its original design. For more information, please see the City's
Community Preservation
