BALLOT QUESTION | Votes |
Question One Shall the Town of Plympton accept sections 3 to 7, inclusive, of Chapter 44B of the General Laws, a summary of which appears below? Sections 3 to 7 of Chapter 44B of the General Laws of Massachusetts, also known as the Community Preservation Act, establishes a dedicated funding source to acquire and preserve open space, parks and conservation land, protect farm land and forests from future development, restore and preserve historic properties, and help meet local families' housing needs. In Plympton, the Community Preservation Act will be funded by an additional excise of 1.5% on the annual tax levy on real property, to be assessed beginning in fiscal year 2009, and by matching funds provided by the state. Property owned as a domicile by any person who qualifies for low income housing or low to moderate income senior housing in the Town, as defined in Section 2 of said Act, and $100,000 of the value of each taxable parcel of residential real property are exempt from the surcharge. Any other taxpayer receiving an exemption of real property authorized by Chapter 59 of the General Laws shall be exempt from this act. A Community Preservation Committee composed of local citizens will make recommendations on the use of the funds and all expenditures will be subject to an annual audit. | |
