WHY IT MATTERSCPA has enormous potential - if you have the right support.
Over 200 Massachusetts communities have adopted the CPA. The law provides a powerful framework, but it leaves most of the details — from project selection to long-term management — up to each municipality.
Without dedicated support, even the best programs can struggle to keep up with demand, maintain transparency, or fully leverage available funding.
That’s where we help your community thrive.
We bring hands-on experience, tested processes, and a deep understanding of CPA administration to help you run a program that’s organized, compliant, and impactful.
