Sullivan selectmen deny another abatement request - The Ellsworth American

Sullivan selectmen deny another abatement request
SULLIVAN — The Board of Selectmen Monday unanimously denied another abatement request at its regularly scheduled meeting. Henry Whitmore Jr. and Debra Whitmore requested that their property located along Route 1 be granted a property tax abatement, arguing that the property was unequally assessed, and that the assessment should reflect the market value.
Selectman Roger Wakefield explained the property’s assessed value is $264,000, but the couple purchased the property for $164,000. “[The Whitmores want] us to change the valuation based on the sale price. Doesn’t work that way,” Wakefield said.
As previously reported in The American, the board denied last June an abatement request by Deb and James Knowlton, who requested a change in their property tax assessment due to the approximately $340,000 disparity between their Route 1 property’s assessed value and its fair market appraisal.

Broadband expansion a challenge - The Ellsworth American

Broadband expansion a challenge
SULLIVAN — The $900 billion coronavirus relief bill President Trump signed on Dec. 27 includes $7 billion to help expand broadband access.
The funding, which includes a subsidy of up to $50 per month for eligible families to help pay for internet services and $300 million to expand rural broadband access, is intended to help keep Americans connected as the pandemic rages on.
Adequate internet connectivity is an issue that many Mainers, especially those in rural areas unserved by internet providers, have experienced for years.
“Without broadband access, people are going to be left behind,” said Don Snoke, a Sullivan resident and member of the group Age-Friendly Sullivan, which works to provide services and supports for people of all ages in the town.
