The Challenge
Marblehead faces a growing gap between revenues and costs, putting our schools, services, and infrastructure at risk. For years, costs have outpaced the limits of Proposition 2½, with little room for new revenue. Without action, difficult cuts are coming that will impact our quality of life.
The Path Forward
For centuries, Marbleheaders have met challenges head-on. By passing a general override, we can stabilize finances, protect essential services, and invest in our future. This is our chance to come together for Marblehead and ensure it remains a place we’re proud to call home.
