Town of Fairhaven Press Release
Town of Fairhaven Special Election reminder for Monday, June 5, 2023, polls open 10am – 8pm
The Polling Location for all precincts for the Special Election is The Recreation Center, 227 Huttleston Avenue, Fairhaven, MA 02719
There is less than a week left until the Town’s Special Election on Monday, June 5th, 2023
The Town of Fairhaven is asking for voters to approve a $450,000 override to support the school programs, staff salaries and services. The main reasons for the need are loss of revenues, 8% increase due to inflation and contractual obligations tied to cost-of-living adjustments.
The overall projected residential tax rate for fiscal year 2024 with an override is $9.84 per $1,000 of assessed value compared to the current fiscal year 2023 residential tax rate of $9.95 per $1,000 of assessed value.
There is a lot of misinformation circulating and the Town encourages everyone to check out the FY24 Override Information Hub at https://www.fairhaven-ma.gov/fy2024-override-information-hub which includes a link to submit any question to the Finance Team. You can also contact the Select Board/ Town Administrator’s Office at 508-979-4023, ext. 2.
A “YES” vote would allow the municipality to continue to provide services with minimal impact to residents and stakeholders.
Please vote “YES” to the override.
