Elderly and Disabled Homeowner Program
May 15th is right around the corner and if you haven’t scheduled your
appointment to complete your application, time is running out! If this is your year to reapply, you would have already received a letter from the Town of Preston Assessor inviting you to reapply. Additionally, you would have received a
reminder call from my office too. For individuals who still hadn’t responded,
another letter was forwarded to again remind you of your need to reapply. We’re
trying to help you continue this benefit but, we can’t do it alone. To schedule an
appointment, please call the Senior Affairs Office at 860-887-5581 ext.6.

It’s Budget Time!
Yes, it’s that time of year when the General Government and Board of
Education budgets are presented to the public for discussion. Have you ever
attended one of the Public Hearings? Do you wait for your property tax bill to
arrive and say “This is crazy, what’s going on?” This is your opportunity to get the
real story on what the driving forces are behind those tax bills. Don’t voice your
concerns after the fact, be proactive and make a difference.
Public Hearing: April 25th at 7:00 p.m. in the Preston Veterans Memorial School gymnasium, Route 164, Preston
Town Meeting: May 9th at 7:00 p.m. in Preston Veterans Memorial School gymnasium, Route 164, Preston
