Buckland confronts a $300,000 fiscal 2027 deficit as the Select Board weighs a property tax override. The biggest driver is a $296,787 jump in the Mohawk Trail Regional School District assessment, plus a 73 percent, $93,000 spike in health insurance.
Buckland Select Board approved a sustainable purchasing policy and ten new Eversource utility poles, while warning a $288 million Franklin County Technical School building bond could cost the town $275,000 a year.
Buckland Select Board set the Annual Town Meeting for May 5 and warned of a possible tax override. Members voted unanimously to call the meeting for May 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Mohawk Trail Regional School and set a March 24 deadline for warrant articles.
