Following a community meeting on Monday, leaders on the project noted the first phase of construction into Framingham should hopefully begin in 2029.
With a 1.69% CIP shift—which was the same shift seen in FY25—residential taxpayers are slated to pay $11.91 per $1,000 of appraised property value. Commercial property owners would pay $24.13 per $1,000.
The work of local artists and independent filmmakers will be put on display during both days of the event, as attendees will also get the opportunity to learn and connect with each other.
