Gardner MA Growth Better than GRAND, literally!
In a true showing of unprecedented growth, Gardner has issued 1027 building permits thus far in 2021, first time breaking 1000. Normal year is usually 20 to 25% less. And what may be good news, the Gardner City Council voted Monday night to approve the requested tax rate of $18.59, lowest since 2013. Residential, commercial, and industrial will continue to be taxed at same rate.
