Tax Increase Passed by Council at their Dec. 1 Meeting to Fund Needed Infrastructure Maintenance

For years, our borough has had no additional funds to anticipate major infrastructure repairs or emergencies.  We are now facing structural and maintenance needs that the Council believes are unwise to ignore.  So at our Dec. 1, 2021 meeting, the Council passed a 1 mil tax increase which will take effect in 2022.  Depending on your home’s assessed value, the tax will add from about $140 – $185 a year to your taxes.  You can read more about the background and reasons for the increase here.
