Dighton Board of Assessors Stresses Firm Deadline for Brook Street Solar Pilot Agreement
- Meeting Overview:
The Dighton Board of Assessors meeting on January 15, 2025, emphasized the importance of finalizing the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement for the Brook Street solar project. The board’s chair addressed concerns regarding repeated delays and underscored the necessity of securing a commitment by March 1 to avoid further postponements at the upcoming town meeting in June. It was made clear that the draft agreement from the previous fall would stand unchanged, and the selectmen would be approached to place the item on the warrant once commitment is confirmed.
Additionally, the board discussed the tax status of properties on Brook Street and a separate entity referred to as “Macs,” noting that both properties had made the tax roll as of January 1, 2025. This inclusion sets the stage for their fiscal responsibilities beginning July 1, 2025, for the fiscal year 2026. Clarification was provided on the timeline of tax bill issuance, explaining that bills are based on property ownership as of the previous January 1.
