Resident says town is 'gentrifying,' asks board for tax relief
Summary
Alan Lowberg addressed the Town Board on April 14, 2026 from a remote location, saying he believed the town is gentrifying and requesting tax relief; the board recorded that it shared the concern but said budget constraints tied to school funding limited its options.
Alan Lowberg addressed the Town Board at 5:47 p.m., speaking from Crystal Robinson's house, and raised concerns that the town is gentrifying and asked for tax relief. The minutes record his remarks as: "He reiterated his belief that the town was gentrifying and he wanted tax relief." The record does not show a formal proposal or follow-up action tied to his request.
A board member replied that the board shared Lowberg's concern but that their hands were tied because the largest portion of the town's budget is allocated to the school. The minutes do not identify which board member spoke in that response or provide details on what forms of tax relief Lowberg sought (no dollar amounts or ordinance references were recorded).
