The new numbers from the state Department of Revenue were received just hours before Tuesday afternoon's tax classification hearing.
Assessor Ross Vivori said the numbers should translate to about a $2 drop on the tax rate.
"A lot of information for whatever reason seems to be coming out late — state budget numbers, state aid numbers, so forth and so on," he told the Select Board. "And so just literally earlier today, we got some revised numbers which change the amount that we're levying to."
The increased state aid reduces the amount the town must levy to cover its expenses by $147,809 — from $2,237,759 to $2,089,950.
