Tax
Exemption for Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
At the last Board of Selectmen's meeting, the board unanimously
approved an ordinance exempting fuel-efficient vehicles from local
property taxes. At this time, our town is the only town in the
state that has adopted this exemption. A fuel-efficient vehicle is
any passenger car that has a United States Environmental
Protection Agency estimated city gasoline mileage rating of at
least 40 miles per gallon purchased after Jan. 1, 2008.
Applications for exemption must be filed annually with the tax
assessor's office located at Town Hall. If you have any questions,
please contact the tax assessor's office.
Economic
Development
Economic development is a continuous living process. As existing
businesses leave, new businesses join us. Recently, two new
restaurants opened in town: the Ocean Grille and the Bear and
Grille. Additionally, two new law firms have opened offices in
town: Danilowitz & Associates, which specializes in
immigrations law; and, Cohen and Wolf, P.C., which not only serves
as our town attorney but also provides a wide=range of legal
services to businesses, municipalities and private individuals.
These two firms join the Professional Office Center building
located at 657 Orange Center Road, which is undergoing a
revitalization in the center of our town.
Boston
Post Road Construction
The State Department of
Transportation has pushed back the widening of the Boston Post
Road between Racebrook Road and the Milford town line to the
summer of 2009. This project includes the widening of the roadway
to accommodate two traffic lanes in each direction with a center
turn lane.
