Funding for a home for adults with special needs, to help build a 138 unit affordable housing complex, and to replace the elevator at a historic home owned by the City of Watertown were approved by the City Council Tuesday night.

The three projects came recommended from the Community Preservation Committee . The funds come from the Community Preservation Act (CPA) surcharge on Watertown properties, which are to be spent in three areas: affordable housing, historic preservation, and open space/outdoor recreation. For each area, 10 percent of the funds collected go into a reserve. Another 5 percent can go to administrative expenses, and the remaining 65 percent goes into a general reserve that can be spent on projects in any of the three areas.
