Eagle Square tax plan faces Dec 29 vote and possible move
Shaftsbury residents weigh a 1817 origin plant’s future as Eagle Square backs a 10 year tax package. A no vote risks the company relocating to Bennington Industrial Park with a projected tax impact near 133 480 dollars versus 128 000 in Shaftsbury. Town officials warn a pullout would cost jobs and tax revenue while promising a reappraisal plan and a spring start on construction if approved.
