Hillsdale Holding Budget Hearing Wednesday

The Hillsdale Council will hold a special meeting Wednesday night to present their proposed 2013 budget to the public. Residents will be able to ask questions and make comments at the meeting.

Officials introduced the $12.56 million budget at their last meeting. The budget is lower than last year's $12.8 million budget, but would come with a 1.9 percent tax levy increase for a total levy of $8.8 million.

The average borough homeowner, with a property assessed at $469,400 since the recent revaluation, would see a $57 increase under the proposed budget.

The proposed budget can be viewed on the borough's website here.

The special meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Municipal Building.
