SOUTHINGTON â A revaluation of properties in town and new housing construction led to a jump of 6.7 percent in total taxable property value.
The total of taxable real estate, personal property and vehicles is compiled yearly in the grand list. Town officials released the 2020 list this week which will be used to set the tax rate for the 2021-22 budget.
Without raising the tax rate, taxable property added to the townâs rolls last year would give town government more than $1.5 million in additional revenue. The new grand list contains a total of $4.4 billion in real estate, motor vehicles and personal property.

Editor’s note: Here’s a collection of quotes harvested from the front pages of the Greenfield Recorder in 2020. This is the first of two installments.
■“There is a hunger I believe, not just in Greenfield but across the county, for leaders to work together with a common purpose and for the common good, each respecting each other’s roles and responsibilities toward our work and to achieving our accomplishments. This is what I pledge to do as your mayor, as the oath states, ‘faithfully and to the best of my abilities.’” Mayor Roxann Wedegartner at her Jan. 2 inauguration.
