AMHERST Residents will need to approve at least one Proposition 2½ debt-exclusion override, and will face a significant increase in annual property taxes if four town buildings are to be constructed and renovated in the coming years.
At a joint meeting of the Town Council and Finance Committee this week, Finance Director Sean Mangano presented a plan for how the town can make a $90.8 million investment toward $151.3 million in building projects.
The four projects are the $36.3 million expansion and renovation of the Jones Library, for which the town is responsible for $15.8 million; a new $80 million elementary school building, for which the town would cover $40 million of the cost; a new $20 million Department of Public Works headquarters; and a new $15 million fire station in South Amherst.
