Voters in Altamont will vote on the continuation of a one percent sales tax to be used exclusively for economic development, for sewer renovation, for the upkeep and resurfacing of city streets, for the town water tower and water distribution system, for sanitation, for the gas system, for the electric system and for the city building.
The tax will expire in two years at which time voters may be asked to renew it.
This is not a tax increase. It is a sales tax currently collected by Altamont merchants and businesses.
The City of Oswego also is asking city voters to decide whether to continue levying a one percent sales tax, 75 percent of which will be used for development and maintenance of city streets and parking, and 25 percent to be used to improve the city’s parks and recreation facilities. This tax, if approved, will expire in five years.
