Overview: The Norton Finance Committee meeting on March 3rd focused heavily on the financial implications of a proposed sewer project on Elm Street, which could have an impact on local taxpayers. The committee debated whether to approve borrowing up to $8 million for the project, partially funded by a $3.5 million grant. Concerns were raised regarding the project’s cost to residents and whether the benefits justified the financial burden. The project is important for future development but requires town meeting approval to proceed.
