Hopedale Residents Face Potential Tax Override Amidst Budget Shortfall

By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – Hopedale residents could potentially be looking at another tax override for the town to meet expenses. Hopedale Town News reports at the last Select Board meeting the Town Administrator said they are looking at ways to shore up a gap of about $500,000 which would be around $200 a household. He says while town department budgets can be controlled there are uncontrolled increases such as health care premiums. Last year, Hopedale residents approved a $1.35 million tax override.
