Listers complete appraisal of open land in Manchester
Manchester listers completed a compromise open land appraisal aiming between 50 percent fair market value and 22 percent suggested by selectmen. Open land will average 12.7 percent of fair market value, higher than prior inequities but contested by selectmen who seek tax stabilization and a full reappraisal. Town officials may pursue an open space tax plan, noting Hartland examples for possible local adoption.
