Chester OKs 175000 combined garage and town hall plan
Chester Town Board unanimously approves a $175,000 project to build a combined highway garage and town hall on a Leone tract near Chester. A July 6 referendum will decide the bond issue, with an estimated $140,000 after selling the current garage. The 15,000-square-foot building will raise taxes about $1.36 per $1,900 assessed value the first year, then likely decline. Public meetings are set June 23 and June 27, with the referendum center at the Legion hall July 6 from noon to evening.
