Seymour Budget Hearing Set For April 6

A public hearing on the Seymour school and town budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 6 at Seymour Middle School at 211 Mountain Road.

The Board of Finance set the date during a meeting Tuesday.

As it stands, Seymour residents are looking at a 1 mill tax increase. 

The $50.69 million proposal for 2011 – 2012 — if approved by voters — would mean residents with homes assessed at $200,000 would see a tax bill increase of about $200 next year.

The finance board will meet again at Town Hall on April 7 to make any last minute adjustments.

The $50.69 million budget proposal includes $29.8 million for the Board of Education.

Total spending is up 2.68 percent.

The town-wide budget vote is set for April 26 at the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St.
