Transfer tax is a ‘win-win for all of Warwick'

To the editor: My thanks to everyone who came to the Town Board hearing on community preservation and the real estate transfer tax held on Thursday, the 17th. The warm and widespread support expressed for this measure was wonderful. I hope that those who could not make it will contact the Warwick Smart Growth Alliance, a local organization working for the preservation of open space and the Warwick-Florida-Greenwood Lake community. We can provide you with detailed information about the initiative, which will appear on the ballot in November. The stunning truth about this initiative is that it is an ideal win-win for all of the Town of Warwick’s residents. It will help preserve open space, clean air and water in the Town; manage growth; keep property values strong; and control property taxes. And it will do this without raising taxes on residents by even one cent. Please go to the Web site wwwwarwicksga.org, and look for our informational table weekends in town.
