Opportunity: Property owners, businesses, governments, and individuals are planning to act together by giving to the nonprofits that support the Basalt area community. Some have pledged to donate their entire tax refund amount (or more), while others (e.g., not in the town limits, renters, etc.) are planning to participate as well. If you are a Basalt property owner, you will receive your tax refund in late October, according to the Town of Basalt. With substantial participation, this coordinated giving campaign could create a sustainable funding stream that would be a lasting legacy for our community. The recognition of the greater community needs and the collective efforts of community members working together will enhance the livability and help maintain the “small town character” of the Basalt area.
