Concord passes budget

Concord Township Council members passed the 2023 budget Tuesday night. As anticipated, property taxes remain the same.

The budget is balanced with revenues and expenses expected to be $4.1 million and with a total property tax levy of 0.514 mils for properties where there are fire hydrants and 0.453 mils without. (A mil is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.)

Those totals are broken down as 0.206 mils for the general fund, 0.064 for the library fund, 0.105 for fire services, and 0.139 for open space.

Of the total $4.1 million budget, $500,000 is earmarked for the road program and more than $450,000 for land acquisition and historic preservation. Additionally, more than $800,000 is budgeted for public safety and $950,000 for trail and park improvements, $270,000 is dedicated to the Concordville Fire Co., and $800,000 for grant-funded projects.

Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023.
