The recommendation gives the town enough borrowing authority to proceed with bidding for a PFAS treatment plant, but it does not commit the full $30 million to spending. The Board also recommended using $800,491.56 from a PFAS-related lawsuit settlement for contamination remediation when allowable uses are issued. Separately, the FY2027 budget update showed revenues rising 2.9% and expenses rising 3.4%, producing an estimated $235,000 deficit before other new revenues and savings.
