Finance Committee Endorses CPA Plan, Defers on DPW Budget — March 9 Meeting

Arlington's Finance Committee voted 13-3-1 to endorse the Community Preservation Committee's $3,055,500 project plan for fiscal year 2027, which includes funding for affordable housing, court reconstruction, veterans memorial renovation, and town hall restoration. The committee also heard a citizen petition to exempt Arlington from Chapter 61B tax classifications for private country clubs, declined to take a position on it, and began reviewing DPW budgets with concerns about energy costs and staffing vacancies.
