Upton defeats override

Posted by David Dahl, Regional Editor May 5, 2009 07:36 PM

Upton voters on Monday defeated a $650,000 property tax override. The final tally was 557-328, according to unofficial results.

The new money was intended to initially fund approximately $240,000 in upgrades to the Station Street sewage pumping station and pay for the start of an estimated $1 million water main replacement project along Route 140. Both projects were previously denied funding in a Proposition 2 1/2 override vote last January.
