For the second consecutive year, Edgecomb voters will decide municipal spending through a referendum election. Selectmen opted against a traditional town meeting due to coronavirus concerns, and voters will head to the polls May 21 to decide municipal and school budgets and elect town officers. On April 6, selectmen finalized a 60-article warrant. Polls are open from 1 to 7 p.m.
The proposed combined municipal and school budget is $4,917,732, a $95,315 increase or 1.98%. The Fiscal Year 22 school budget is $3,283,589, a 0.9% decrease. Lower education spending also translates to a lower local school assessment. That decreased from $2,569,806 in Fiscal Year 21 to $2,432,378 or a 5.3% drop.
