Brian Yates

Alderman-at-Large, Ward 5
City of Newton, MA

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 Web Page.
