MASSENA â The village Board of Trustees approved a budget plan Tuesday night after meeting jointly with the Town Board to address their joint recreation budget.
The budget includes a tax levy of $6,020,134, which is 1% over last year. The blended tax rate came in at a 0.12% increase, which is under the tax cap by 1.53%.
Rate payers in the town of Massena will pay $16.35 per $1,000 of assessed value, those in Louisville will pay $20.18 per $1,000 and Norfolk property owners will pay $20.69 per $1,000, according to Treasurer Kevin Felt.
Deputy Mayor Matthew J. LeBire thanked department heads and the village administrative staff for their work on the budget, the first he has overseen since the resignation of former Mayor Timmy J. Currier following his arrest for drug possession in January.
