The increase is driven by expenses related to the district s plan to build a new fire station on Main Street (Route 2)
The bottom line for the district would go up by just less than $60,000 if approved at the annual fire district meeting on May 25. That represents an increase of 10.6 percent over the current year s spending plan of $565,865.
Wednesday marked the second time the committee has reviewed the budget proposal, which it will see one more time on May 5 before finalizing the warrant for the annual meeting.
