Deerfield May See Tax Hike to Pay for Infrastructure Projects

Deerfield trustees are considering a tax increase to pay for a proposed $10 million in bonds to pay for upcoming infrastructure projects, according to an article in the Deerfield Review.

The biggest ticket items fall under a $19.8 million capital expenditure plan, which includes flood control projects and road and sidewalk improvements, the article says.

A budget workshop will reconvene Oct. 9, when trustees will continue discussing the issue, TribLocal reports. Under the proposed plan, taxes would go up about 3 percent, which represents $14 on a $500,000 home.
