NORTH ANDOVER â The North Andover Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to transfer up to $300,000 from the townâs stabilization fund to the Stevenâs Estate enterprise fund budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
If the transfer wasnât made, Town Manager Melissa Murphy-Rodrigues said that the townâs taxpayers would have to shoulder the burden, paying an additional $30 on their property taxes this year.
âIf we donât make the vote it would automatically be raised on the tax levy and paid by taxpayers,â Murphy-Rodrigues said during a Dec. 7 Board of Selectmen meeting exclusively dedicated to the money transfer to the Stevenâs Estate, a historic home run as an event and wedding venue run by the town.
