This program provides the opportunity for 50 seniors to work for a $750 property tax reduction and another 50 seniors to work for a $500 water bill credit.
“We are so excited to welcome the seniors back for this year’s abatement program,” said Deb Peczka, Director of Elder Services. “My staff will be available from 12-3:00 PM to collect your applications and guide you through the process, so please reach out if you have any questions.”
