Nice job by the talented students, music teachers and administrators at the Holiday Concert this year. The hard work definitely has paid off, you sounded wonderful.

Board of Selectman have set the 2018 tax rate. We are happy to state that the rate has decreased from 2017. The Commercial Industrial rate will be $38.65 (per thousand) down from $39.87. Residential rate will be $20.67 (per thousand) down from $20.90. Acknowledging those rates are still high, this reduction of taxes indicates that Holbrook is moving forward and dedicated to creative reform when it comes to operating Town Government. Special thanks to all the Town's administration and the Fin Com for their tremendous collaborative efforts this past year.
