The senior exemption age proposal, highlighted by a motion made during the meeting, is a notable change that may affect many of Dighton’s older residents.

One project, described as the largest solar farm in Dighton, will have its taxes spread over 20 years, totaling $689,757. The Board also mentioned another solar project on Williams Street, which has yet to have its payments broken down but will be similarly structured.

Further discussions and approvals that took place included contract negotiations, motor vehicle abatements, and real estate exemptions. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to review, discuss, and act upon FY24 abatement applications.
