As they work to map out the next several decades of development in two key areas on the periphery of the village center, Pinehurstâs leaders are waist-deep in quandaries.
Last week the Village Council devoted a four-hour work session to reviewing a set of preliminary small area plans formulated by the consultants they hired to help give form to their vision for Pinehurst South and Village Place.
After revision and input, those proposed plans, which outline how new streets and developments could play out in both areas over the next 30-50 years, will form the basis for strict development regulations known as form-based codes stipulating the type and style of development there.
Pinehurstâs proposed budget for the upcoming year forecasts a continued rebound from the worst months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This time last year, village leaders budgeted cautiously as they waited the economic fallout to everything from sales tax collections to facility rentals. What happened as the pandemic has played out through 2020 and into 2021 has been a mixed bag as far as effects on Pinehurstâs revenues streams go.
Part of the 1.5-cent tax property increase proposed for the 2022 fiscal year is a holdover from last year, when the Village Council decided to delay a half-cent increase so as not to compound unforeseen effects the pandemic might have on Pinehurst residents. The other penny worth of increase, which will bring in an estimated $381,000 in revenue, will support the villageâs acquisition of Given Memorial Library and the Tufts Archives.
