Public Hearing Tonight on $50.1M Town Budget

The Ledyard Town Council is holding a public hearing tonight at 7 p.m. on the proposed town budget for 2013-14.

The town is considering a $50,136,531 budget, which is comprised of a general government budget of $20,442,567 and a Board of Education budget of $29,693,964. The $50.1 million budget will increase the tax rate by a little less than three-tenths of a mil. A mil is equal to $1 per $1000 of assessed property value. 

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Ledyard High School auditorium. The full details of the budget are located on the Town's website here. 

The annual town meeting to discuss the budget is set for 7:30 p.m. on May 20 in the same location, and will adjourn to a referendum from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. the following day.
