On Sunday March 24 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm in the downstairs public meeting room of the Mattapoisett Free Public Library, the Mattapoisett Democratic Town Committee will host its third in a series of speaker’s forums on Affordable Housing, Property Taxes and Ideas for Easing the Tax Burden for Mattapoisett Residents.
Joining the conversation will be Kathleen Costello who retired from the Town in December 2022 after more than a decade as the Administrator of Assessing. Ms. Costello is currently the Executive Director for the Massachusetts Association of Assessing Officers, the governing authority of the Massachusetts Assessors. Ms. Costello brings a wealth of experience to the discussion of affordable housing and what we as a community can do to make it happen for our young and aging residents.
Ms. Costello will be joined by Mattapoisett Town Administrator Mike Lorenco who will share what the Town has done and is doing in an effort to keep our property taxes at a reasonable level while also ensuring our Town’s services are adequately funded.
Bring your family, friends, neighbors and questions and spend an afternoon learning more about how your property taxes are calculated and what we can do to offset them. Light refreshments and snacks will be served.
