The Community Preservation Committee of Wareham made several funding requests during Tuesday’s Selectmen meeting, including for use on affordable housing and a new dog park.

Sandra Slavin, co-chair of the Community Preservation Committee, discussed a few requests for funds, which will be voted on when all Selectmen are present. The Town Hall auditorium needs $120,000 to repair the leaking rubber roof, which must be fixed before the interior of the building can be worked on. The town submitted the request for this money.

“It’s a beautiful building; I graduated from high school there and I’d like to see it used again,” Slavin said.

Another request was for the Latham Center’s affordable housing project. The organization requested $100,000 for a new building, which will be located at 165 Great Neck Road. This four-bedroom house will be designed for people with disabilities.

The Wareham Land Trust wishes to purchase Stoney Run, a plot of land on Main Street, and requested $91,500 from the Community Preservation Committee for this purchase. The Land Trust would purchase the land for preservation purposes, Slavin said.

A request was also submitted for $20,000 for a new dog park in Wareham. Joshua Crabb, a volunteer with the non-profit DPAW (Dog Park Affiliates of Wareham), represented the group at the meeting. The town-owned plot of just over an acre off Maple Springs Road has been selected as the spot for the park. The $20,000 requested will show the town is invested in having a dog park and could make it easier to obtain a grant for remaining $180,000 that will be requested from The Stanton Foundation.

“Maybe the dogs will no longer be on the beaches and in the cemetery,” Slavin said.

Crabb said DPAW plans to maintain the dog park through fundraising.

Slavin said the CPC has a fund balance of $938,000 as of the end of the fiscal year. The committee requested that $62,315 of money that was unused for a previous project be returned to them. This request can be approved at the next Town Meeting.

Chair Peter Teitelbaum said the Board of Selectmen plans to vote on these requests next week when all Selectmen are present.
