The math is sobering: declining new growth and nearly exhausted excess levy capacity mean the town will be taxing residents and businesses to the max by FY2028. To counter this, the Board is considering a ballot question on nuclear energy technology at the Pilgrim site.

Longer-form draft.
During the April 7 Select Board meeting, officials laid out a sobering financial outlook for Plymouth. The Town Manager and Finance Director presented a five-year forecast revealing a projected $1.4 million deficit by 2028, leading into what officials described as a 'fiscal cliff' in the early 2030s. This is driven by declining new growth and a nearly drained excess levy capacity. To address these looming revenue gaps, the Board discussed placing a non-binding advisory question on the 2026 ballot regarding the evaluation of new nuclear energy technologies at the former Pilgrim site. While the Board deferred the vote to allow for legal review of the language, the proposal signals a potential shift in how the town intends to manage its long-term financial health. Beyond the budget, residents raised significant concerns regarding infrastructure and town policy. Cedarville residents continue to face long delays for Route 3A traffic mitigation, and public comments highlighted growing tension regarding government neutrality and the use of formal land acknowledgement language during upcoming ceremonies. As these issues move toward official votes, residents should remain vigilant about how these decisions will shape Plymouth’s taxes and community character. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-04-07/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
