Welcome to Hubbardston's Fiscal Year 2026 E-Budget Book — your go-to resource for understanding how our town is investing in its future. This platform is designed to provide clear, accessible insights into Hubbardston's financial planning, ensuring that every dollar spent supports our community's long-term goals.
Our $11.78 million budget reflects a 5.59% increase over FY25, driven by strategic investments that prioritize critical services, infrastructure improvements, and public safety enhancements. With projected revenues of $11.67 million — Hubbardston continues to maintain a strong financial foundation while making thoughtful, sustainable spending decisions.
This year's budget includes targeted investments in infrastructure upgrades, public safety enhancements, roads and public works, and modernized town operations. We've also strategically allocated $108,803 in free cash for one-time expenses that improve services and reduce future costs — ensuring these funds deliver lasting value. As free cash use declines per our plan, we note that significant cuts or an operational override would be necessary if these funds are not utilized.
