    FRAMINGHAM, MA — Based on a request from the Board of Selectmen, officials from the Assessor’s Office will give a presentation about how assessments are calculated for commercial and residential properties on Monday, March 2, 2009 at 7 p.m. in Nevins Hall.

    Nevins Hall was selected as the site for the public hearing since it has a seating capacity of about 1,500 so that a large crowd can be comfortably accommodated. Residents and business owners can take advantage of this opportunity to attend on a proactive basis. The economy could decline further, which could cause more concern about a possible disparity between assessments and market values next year.

    Attend and be educated about how your home or business property is assessed.
