Purpose

To identify and evaluate potential opportunities for new tax relief programs for Belmont residents, particularly seniors and residents with disabilities, and recommend to the Select Board the most promising opportunities for immediate, medium, and long-term action. For selected opportunities, work with Town staff to complete in-depth evaluations of impact and cost and develop implementation plans. If any opportunities require Town Meeting approval, work to educate Town Meeting members on the details of the particular warrant article(s).

Develop initial and ongoing outreach and communication strategies for ensuring that Belmont residents who are eligible for tax relief programs are aware of them.
