The 2024 budget
The first public look at the 2024 budget was at the Municipal Council Meeting on Nov. 8. The $42.3 million budget is looking at an approximate $743,000 - $800,000 revenue gap which is proposed to be covered through a number of ways, including a potential increase of real estate taxes and use of ARPA money. Final budget adoption is expected in December.
