Attleboro City Council voted in favor of 1.425 tax rate split which would bring the split between residential and business tax rates closer.
Hours of conversation over bringing the tax rate split between business and residents closer together resulted in the Attleboro City Council's vote in favor to set the tax rate split at 1.425, which means higher taxes for residents. The decision came after the council held a public hearing to hear opinions from local residents and business owners Tuesday night. A total of six councilors voted against a 1.45 rate, but voted in favor of a 1.425 split tax rate, which means a $105 tax increase for Attleboro homes with average values and a $782 increase for businesses of average value. Attleboro City Assessor Stan Nacewicz had proposed a 1.40 rate, but Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman pushed for the 1.425 rate. Attleboro City …

Andrew Heller has moved his photo business from Walpole to new digs on Riverbank Road in Attleboro.
Longtime resident and entrepreneur Andy Heller knows a thing about lighting, photo lenses and snapping a photo from the right angle. More importantly, however, he knows how to capture the moment and seek opportunity, especially when it's right in front of him. After more than a decade of snapping photos in Walpole, Heller closed the door to his Walpole-based studio to open Heller Photography, a studio closer to home in Attleboro. How it happened was unexpected. For more than a year Heller was looking for the perfect studio space in Attleboro, but came up short. That, however, was until he was approached while at coffee shop with the idea to move his studio to a space in just behind Attleboro Jewelers in the Women at Work Museum. Making …
