Sudbury Special Election: Polling Locations; What To Know

Patch has all the information for Sudbury's special election, where voters will decide whether the town should buy the Sewataro camp land.

SUDBURY, MA — The future of the Sewataro camp land will be decided on Tuesday as voters hit the polls for the town's special election. One question will be on the ballot: Should the town buy the Sewataro land? Residents have voiced strong opinions since April, when the Board of Selectmen signed a letter of intent with the owners of the land to buy it for $11 million.

Sudbury's Town Meeting voted earlier this month to buy the land but the final decision will be made by majority vote in the special town election.

To pay for the land, the town would make debt payments for 20 years beginning at $1 million and decreasing through the years, with the final payment being $586,000. The average single-family home valued just over $745,000 would pay approximately $2,000 over the life of the bond. The annual tax payments would start at close to $170 and decrease yearly with a final payment of approximately $90, assuming that values held steady.
