In a podcast by the Y’s Men of Westport-Weston, First Selectwoman Samantha Nestor discusses the budgets and mill rate for the coming fiscal year, which will be the subject of a public hearing with the Board of Finance on Tuesday evening, April 2 at 6:00 in the Weston High School auditorium.

The Board of Finance begins budget deliberations on Thursday April 4 at 6:00 pm in a Zoom meeting. In the podcast, Ms. Nestor says the net spending increase in the budget proposals is down to less than one percent and the mill rate could drop to 24.07, lower than previously forecast.

With lower automobile values taxed at a lower mill rate, she says, taxes for most property owners will be relatively flat and, for those whose home values increased less than the average, could be reduced.
