Townspeople need more information about water and sewer financing for multifamily district

by Ben Myers  ·   Friday, April 24, 2026

I read last week’s Harvard Press article about the multifamily sewer and water district from top to bottom twice. Apparently our town Select Board has not stated clearly how a $16 or $9 million project will be financed and paid for. Living on the other side of town, I cannot imagine any direct or indirect benefit of the project to my family and our neighbors, so I sure would not want to contribute my tax dollars to making this project happen. Townspeople are owed an explanation in detail of the dollars and cents here.
