Southbury's Grand List Grows, But Only Minimally: Report

Southbury First Selectman Jeffrey Manville concedes that the relatively flat grand list will make it more challenging to keep taxes from increasing next year, the Republican-American reports.

Southbury’s 2015 grand list of $2.12 billion did increase, but only by $826,834 or 0.04 percent.

Real estate increased by 0.23 percent but motor vehicle taxes dropped by $190,920, the Rep-Am reports.

What hurt the town the most was the wastewater treatment facility at Heritage Village is now tax exempt, and had counted for $10.9 million on the grand list, the Rep-Am reports.
