Is it true that the Open Space Proposition will eventually lower costs and taxes ?
www.poundridgeny.com believes so ! As more homes are developed, Pound Ridge’s infrastructure is stressed. More homes add more cars on the roads, repair costs increase as roads and recreation is used more, school costs rise, government costs increase, more litter is produced, etc. Lately, the newer developments have more children. The school board has recognized this with an explosion of expected enrollments. The cost of town services for this population increase far outweighs the taxes received from the new lot.
