The Safety & Security Capital Project will require NO INCREASE in your taxes. The project will be funded primarily by state building aid, which covers 60% of eligible expenses. The remainder will be paid for using the local share from debt that is retiring. The result: Due to careful planning and budget implementation, the impact to local taxpayers will be TAX NEUTRAL.
