Four-year tax increase proposed to conserve open land in S Burlington

View Comments A plan to raise $6 million in taxes over four years would allow South Burlington to buy and protect more open space, a conservation group says. South Burlington Land Trust s proposal, presented to city councilors on Monday, calls for an annual tax increase of about $100 per year for owners of a median-priced condo, or about $158 for a median-priced single-family home. The temporary tax hike would speed the city s ability to conserve rural land at a time when demand for housing has prompted more widespread development, according to a summary letter by the nonprofit land trust s president, Sarah Dopp. Boosting SoBu s Open Space/Conservation Fund would also demonstrate a commitment to reducing the impacts of rapid climate change, she added.
