32 Cent Tax Hike Seen at Arlington
Arlington voters face a 32 cent tax increase if they approve town and school budget articles at Town Meeting. An estimated $12 school tax and $3.60 town tax raise the rate to $16.20, up 32 cents from last year, with ballots on regional planning dues and billboard ordinance amendments. Additional articles seek funding for a town office building, land purchase, and a vault addition, amortized over five to ten years. The town report outlines school needs, kindergarten, a music room, and a K–Grade 6 campus consolidation at Fisher School.
