A June 6 special election is planned, when the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department will ask local voters to approve $10 million in bonding for a new ambulance station.
The town has opted in to a state law that gives volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers a 10% tax exemption on their town taxes if they live locally, a tool that fire officials said may help them better recruit and retain newcomers.
Officials hope the 10% property tax break for resident volunteer firefighters with 2 years of service will boost recruitment and retention.
