The Select Board meeting held on March 17, 2025, in Millis, Massachusetts, focused on significant financial implications for the community, particularly concerning property taxes. A key discussion point was the impact of senior tax exemptions on the overall tax burden for residents.
During the meeting, board members highlighted that removing seniors from tax exemption programs would lead to an increase in property taxes for other homeowners. This concern was underscored by a recent presentation that detailed the financial dynamics of the town's tax structure. The board emphasized the importance of considering how changes to tax policies could affect the community's financial landscape.
In addition to the tax discussion, the meeting touched on various administrative updates and community initiatives, although these were secondary to the primary focus on property taxes.
The board plans to continue evaluating the implications of tax policies and will seek further input from residents in upcoming meetings. This ongoing dialogue aims to ensure that the financial needs of all community members are balanced fairly.
