Exciting Board of Assessors Meeting Has Assessor Smiling over DOR Approval
Beaming from ear to ear, Gardner MA Assessor Christine Kumar reported that the Department of Revenue did not have a single question on the values submitted – Values and New growth were approved. In the words of one of the members, “WOW.” Kumar stated that she had met with the City Auditor John Richard before the meeting and he’s “going to start answering things on his end for the recap sheet…”
In another item, the Board of Assessors is once again recommending a single tax rate for Gardner’s property tax payers. “We’re trying to attract commercial and industrial.” This will be decided by the Gardner City Council with a classification hearing tentatively scheduled for November 20th.
