Adams Eyes $21M Spending Plan for Fiscal 2027
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The town is eyeing a budget slightly over $21 million for fiscal year 2027, an increase of 4.5 percent.
The town anticipates having a finalized warrant and budget for town meeting by the end of May.
During the budgeting process, the town administration developed a "level-funded service budget," assuming every vacant position is filled, that is fiscally responsible.
"There's no big changes to organizational charts or operational capacity," Town Administrator Nicholas Caccamo said in a follow-up. He earlier in the process said the goal was to create stability and consistency in the budget.
One of the top priorities is filling vacancies around Town Hall, training the new personnel to become efficient and contribute to operating needs, he said during the Selectmen's meeting last month.
In the last year the town has had a high turnover because of recent retirements and staff leaving to pursue other opportunities.
There is a tight employee market right now making recruitment difficult, Selectmen Chair John Duval said.
The town is preparing to submit an application for Community Block Grant Funds following the designation of its blighted area on Route 8. click for more
