Weston Select Board Endorses Open Space Plan, Raises Tax Deferral Income Limit

WESTON -- March 10, 2026, Weston Select Board endorses open space plan and raises property tax deferral income threshold to $128,700. Meeting Tuesday with only a two-member quorum, Chair Lise N. Revers and Clerk John F. McDonald, the board unanimously accepted a Finance Department recommendation to lift FY27 income eligibility for the town's special-legislation deferral program to $128,700, equivalent to 80 percent of the 2025 median family income, while holding the deferral interest rate at 4 percent. The board also unanimously endorsed the draft Open Space and Recreation Plan and authorized Revers to sign a letter of support, with McDonald calling the document "a good roadmap for what we should aspire to do." Resident Tricia Liu urged the board to act on longstanding parking and safety problems at Indian Hill Road, where more than 20 cars regularly pack a narrow dead-end near elderly neighbors; Town Manager Leon Gamond warned that any warrant article funding a Conservation Commission parking lot on the site must be committed at the board's next meeting, March 24.
