[MassHistPres] CPA funds for fencing and gate to secure historic cemetery

[Sullivan, Charles M.]

Fencing a cemetery to protect historic resources sound like an entirely acceptable use of CPA funds. The Cambridge Historical Commission has for many years received a regular annual appropriation of CPA funds for headstone conservation in our historic cemetery in Harvard Square, where there is always work to be done, and CPA funds have been used for a variety of projects at our active municipal cemetery.

Subject: [MassHistPres] CPA funds for fencing and gate to secure historic cemetery

Does anyone know of CPA funds being used to install a fence with a locking gate around a cemetery?   I am working on a grant application to begin restoration of the Universalist Cemetery in Hyannis, MA.  Because of its location (tucked behind our Main Street church), the cemetery is used by drug dealers and users and homeless people on a regular basis.  In order to protect and preserve any restoration work, and to prevent further vandalism, we would like to be able to lock the cemetery at night.  The fence would be  5-feet high spear top ornamental black aluminum on 2 sides of the cemetery.  The other 2 sides are enclosed by the L-shaped church buildings.
