Town officials are preparing two budget scenarios for fiscal year 2028, one level-funded and another with a 5% reduction. Department heads have been informed that layoffs are expected due to rising costs and insufficient state aid. Pension and health insurance expenses are projected to increase significantly in the coming years. Both the Select Board and Finance Committee have stated they will not pursue another tax override. Residents are encouraged to advocate for increased state funding for local aid.
