In their May 7 meeting, the Scarborough Town Council passed the fiscal year 2026 municipal and school budget. The new budget – valued at just over $90 million – will result in an estimated 3.75% tax rate increase. “The budget sets a clear path forward to ensure the level of services our community expects remains unwavering,” said Tom Hall, Scarborough Town Manager. “Residents have told us they value public safety, well maintained infrastructure, and our schools. These areas are well represented in the budget and the Council and staff continue to drive these priorities forward.”

Last week the Council unanimously voted against approving the 96-unit senior affordable and workforce housing project contract zone amendment that was proposed by South Portland Housing Authority. For me, it is a great project, but simply in the wrong location. We received a lot of emails and concerns about this project and I just wanted to share some information with residents that I hope you will consider related to this project
