What Do You Want Funded In Town Budget?
Where should the money go in the next fiscal year?

There has been a lot of talk about what to cut in the town's default budget, but there are also items in the budget that need to be funded.
The default budget for the next fiscal year is $10,853,361, which is $242,035 less than the operating budget. This means setting priorities about what is important to maintaining the quality of the town and moving it towards a better future.
Members of the Board of Selectmen have already labeled the Amherst DPW as a priority, with road maintenance being an important focus for the town going forward.
