Summary
Habitat for Humanity is facing a tax-exempt status showdown in Rutland Town after officials claim their new Cold River Road location doesn’t qualify for public use and funds flow to the national organization. Instead of fighting in court, they’re turning to voters—pushing a ballot question in November to let locals decide whether to keep their tax breaks, arguing it fuels community growth by directing every dollar toward building homes. With signatures already gathered in Rutland City, they’re now racing to collect enough in Rutland Town to put the issue on the ballot there too, hoping residents will see the value in their mission and vote to preserve their tax-exempt status.
