05:24AM / Tuesday, September 12, 2023 | |
 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday voted unanimously not to adopt a residential tax exemption for the current fiscal year but left the idea on the table as one of several options the town could consider employing to provide tax relief in the future.

Select Board member Stephanie Boyd has been advocating that the town consider adopting the commonwealth's residential tax exemption as a way to shift some of the tax levy away from owners of lower-priced homes and toward owners of higher-end properties.
