Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Tax Cap Override

The board adopted the local law allowing the 2027 budget to exceed the state's 2% property tax cap. Without it, the town says it would have had to cut roughly 29 full-time positions and services like the summer concert series.

What it means: Enables a tax levy above the 2% cap; staying under the cap would have required roughly $3 million in cuts.

A developer wants four homes on land the town considers unbuildable under the environmentally sensitive land rules. The applicant re-engineered the plan, but the planning and engineering departments still flag steep-slope disturbance and stormwater risk, and neighbors pushed back hard.

What it means: The applicant, who would gain an fourth buildable lot on the Wiggs Road parcel.

What it means: Commuters and future development residents if intersections are improved.
