Selectboard · Meeting of August 24, 2026
BELLINGHAM — Select Board advances Hartford Avenue development financing framework. The board unanimously approved a District Improvement Financing program that would use incremental tax revenue from development within a 435-acre district to fund I-495 South on-ramp and intersection improvements, Hartford Avenue widening to North Main Street, and Cedar Hill intersection work, without raising the town's tax rate. The framework leverages a 700,000-square-foot warehouse project as a principal revenue driver over the next 30 years and requires town meeting approval.
