Assistant town manager Roxanne Robinson will speak about the construction at the Si Ferrin space across the street from town hall.
Town manager Larry Pardee will tee up a discussion on property tax in the town and whether there is an appetite for that. Town councilors have talked about raising property taxes ever since a 7th penny of sales tax was voted down a couple of years ago. The town is considering anywhere from 0.5 mills to the maximum 8 mills rate raise.
An 8-mill levy, for instance, would increase property taxes by $760 a year for a million dollar home in Jackson.
Finance director Kelly Thompson will also present an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021 budget, and look for adoption of the FY2022 budget, which begins July 1.
