DEERFIELD — The Selectboard approved setting the sewer rate at $16.38 per 1,000 gallons and the town’s tax rate at $15.17 per $1,000 valuation for fiscal year 2022.
Selectboard member Trevor McDaniel said setting the sewer rate at $16.38, a 14% increase from fiscal year 2021, will help the town secure money for Phase 2 of upgrades to the South Deerfield Wastewater Treatment Plant, find a fourth employee for the plant and provide funding for additional capital needs.
Selectboard members said the tax rate, which was $15.85 per $1,000 valuation in the previous fiscal year, decreased because businesses have been coming to town and they want to treat businesses fairly.
