It’s funny you say that because I feel like a lot of the older generation here would complain about that, making it a “double edged sword”. They’ll complain that the apartments add to higher taxes because it puts strain on the school system and the amount of taxes that developers and complex owners pay is always way less than the value (because of all the abatements filed). I remember back in 2016 when I sat on a town committee I looked up the property taxes and values for some of the larger complexes like the fairways. They’re all owned by out of state entities that abate their taxes every year. They were still fighting 2011 taxes back in 2016. Granted these are also the same people that complain that Derry needs a “target or kohls” not understanding the fundamentals reasons why we will never, ever get additional big box stores.
