Switching gears, let’s talk a moment about the current town-wide revaluation underway. Hopefully, by the time you read this, you will have received your updated property valuation from John O’Donnell and Associates. Good news! Regardless of your new valuation, if you receive the Homestead Exemption, you should be able to benefit by 100% of the amount, instead of the current 80%. Challenges… moving forward, one of the greatest challenges for the Council and Town remains the long-asked question of where should the town office be located. Should it remain at 108 Lewiston St? Should we look at re-visiting the use off 22 Pleasant St. (assuming it is not sold)? Or should we look at building new? I expect the Council will continue on the journey of answering the question. As always, know that I have an open-door policy. Please feel free to reach out to me with any problem, question, thought, or even kind word that you may have. My direct line is 344-1505. I will meet with anyone, anytime, to discuss any topic concerning the town. In conclusion, from finances, to staff, and council, the state of the Town of Mechanic Falls continues to be strong. I look forward to another year of the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Sincerely,

Vic Hodgkins Town Manager
