Wayland Selectmen Vote
No to Split Taxes

Fall 2006 – Several Wayland Business Association members, including Werner Gossels, Patricia MacNeil, Ralph Wegener, Sherman Lin, Frank Poisson, Robert Lavin and Joseph Strazzulla appeared before the Wayland Selectmen on two different occasions to request that the Selectmen vote against instituting a separate tax rate for commercial real estate owners.

Consequently, the Selectmen voted not to split the taxes for fiscal year 2006. However, they stated that they would revisit this issue on an annual basis. This is an important matter for any commercial real estate owner in town. If the Town of Wayland decides to split the taxes in the future, the increased costs to local businesses could be significant.

If you would like to get involved or get more information regarding the possibility of split taxes in Wayland, please contact Patty MacNeil at (508) 358-5136.
