Union County s $519 million budget has no tax increase
From Staff Reports
ELIZABETH – There will be no increase in Union County’s tax rate for the second consecutive year.
The Union County Board of Commissioners passed a $519.8 million budget last week that they said will maintain all essential services and “continues the county’s trend of fiscally responsible budgets, and maintains the county’s bond rating which is the highest attainable.”
Commissioner Chairman Alexander Mirabella said that despite the pandemic, the county s fiscal outlook remains strong. We continue to offer our high-quality governmental services, and our commitment to assisting our constituents, he said.

The food distribution is open to all Union County residents. Food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and no registration is required. The event will take place rain or shine. Food distributions have become a lifeline for our residents during the COVID-19 pandemic and we are proud to continue to provide this valuable resource to our residents, said Commissioner Chairman Alexander Mirabella. During this time as residents continue to deal with unemployment, housing issues and food insecurity, we are working hard to help everyone put food on their tables, said Commissioner Sergio Granados who also serves as Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Board. We thank Village Super Market, Gargiulo Produce, the Community Food Bank of NJ, and CMC foods for their continued partnership.
