What it means: This request is for an annual donation to Experience Hampton to help fund the Holiday parade, which generally occurs in early December.
Those in favor say: The parade involves many groups, including businesses, schools and local officials. The total cost of the parade is $15,000, of which the taxpayers are being asked to absorb a percentage.
Those opposed say: No one spoke against this Article at Deliberative Session.
Fiscal impact: Cost per $1,000 valuation is $0.001. A household valued at $400,000 would see $0.40 incorporated into the tax bill for 2024. The town has supported this donation in the past at the same level, so it would technically not be an increase.
