This split vote in Fair Haven is a challenge for town officials as Article 1 needed to pass in order to create a charter for Article 2 to be enacted.
Article 2, a 1% option tax, failed by three votes on Town Meeting Day 2020. Though it passed this time, its fate is unknown without the charter passing.
