Board members observed the town’s grand list shows four fewer parcels and a loss of 19 acres year-over-year; possible causes discussed included subdivision, contiguous parcel purchases or donation to conservation (Grace Cottage/conservancy).

During review of the supporting materials, members noted the grand list shows four fewer parcels than last year and a reduction of about 19 acres. Committee member 6 and the Chair discussed potential causes such as subdivision, changes in current-use status, or land donated to a conservancy; Grace Cottage was mentioned as a possible related transaction.

Members asked staff to verify the reasons for the changes and whether any removals were tax-exempt transfers or reclassifications that could affect future revenue projections. The board did not take a formal action on the grand-list items during this meeting.
