The project received CPA funding in May of 2019 at the Special Town Meeting to restore the Parsonage. At the time of funding, the building needed restoration.

A Memorandum of Understanding between the Mashpee Old Indian Meeting House Authority, Inc., and the Town of Mashpee regarding the release of funds from the Community Preservation Fund was prepared. Due to unacceptable conditions,the document was never executed between the respective parties. With the assistance of Town Counsel, a revised MOU was presented to the Select Board which is also required to be voted upon by the Community Preservation Committee. The previous MOU expired by its own terms on July 1,2020 without fulfillment of the terms and conditions set forth. The project is subject to the recording of a Preservation Restriction to assure the subject historic property and its intrinsic values will be preserved through any subsequent ownership by restricting the demolition or alteration of its significant historic features. The CPC in its deliberations regarding the Town Meeting voted to approve CPA funding for the Parsonage Restoration Project noting the historic significance of the Parsonage and emphasized the need to afford predetermined public access to the Parsonage. Public access is a requirement for the use of CPA funds.,and shall be detailed in a supplemental MOU in consideration of the commitment of Town funds to its preservation.
