Birmingham in brief

Birmingham Township Board of Supervisors Monday night authorized advertising of the 2023 budget. Supervisors are scheduled to vote on the spending bill during their Dec. 5 meeting.

While there was no lengthy discussion on the budget, Supervisors Chairman Scott Boorse said there would be no tax increase. The millage rate would remain at 1.6 mils. (A mil is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.)

Boorse added that the anticipated revenue for 2023 is $2.9 million, which includes a $1.1 million carry forward. Expenses are expected to be $2.35 million, he said.
