The Municipality of Lunenburg will not borrow to pay for capital projects for the fourth year in a row. Council members voted unanimously to approve this year’s budget. It includes an operating budget of $29.4-million and a capital budget over $3.5-million. Mayor Don Downe says he’s proud of not having to borrow money.
The municipality’s residential tax rate remains at $0.81 cents while the commercial tax rate stays at $1.95. However, sewer rates have dropped. In Cookville, New Germany and Conquerall Bank, it’s down to $0.75 cents from $0.84. It also dropped in Hebbville from $0.49.9 cents to $0.45.
