Comments Sought On Canton's Budgets

CANTON, CT — Town officials on Thursday, April 25, will gather testimony on proposed town/school spending plans for 2024-25.

The Canton Board of Finance will host a hybrid public hearing on the annual budget as proposed for the upcoming fiscal year.

It will be on Thursday, April 25, at 6 p.m. at Canton Community Center, 40 Dyer Ave., Canton.

Questions or comments regarding the budget can be emailed to budgetquestions@townofcantonct.org.

All questions and comments received will be included as part of the record of the meeting.

Questions and comments may also be made by attending the meeting in person or virtually.

The budget's tax impacts will vary by each taxpayer due to a recently completed property revaluation.

Last week, town meeting voters said "yes" to a plan to phase in the reveal impacts, which can cause tax hikes if property values increase drastically.

Sometime after the hearing, the finance board will finalize a spending plan package for voters to decide at a May 7 referendum.
