Somerville finance committee backs $500,000 CPA request for Quincy Street Park renovation
The Somerville Finance Committee on Feb. 25 recommended approval of a $500,000 appropriation from the Community Preservation Act open-space reserve for renovation of Quincy Street Park.

The funding request was presented by Director Alan Inacio of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development, who said the project emerged from this year’s CPA application round and carries a recommendation from the Community Preservation Committee. The item was laid on the table for a single, combined approval vote at the end of the meeting.

Quincy Street Park was described during the meeting as located near Union Square, close to School Street and Market Basket. Committee members offered brief support; Councilor Klinge, the ward councilor, called the item “pretty straightforward” and said the committee should follow the CPC recommendation. No substantive objections or amendments were raised.

The committee combined this item with other grant-acceptance items and approved them together by roll-call vote at the meeting’s close.

The committee did not provide a detailed project scope, timeline or contractor information in the meeting record; those specifics were not specified in the materials discussed. Director Inacio indicated staff and the CPA manager are available to answer follow-up questions on the project.

The vote to recommend approval of the items on the table, which included this CPA appropriation, was taken by roll call near the end of the meeting and recorded as approved by all members present.
