LOCK HAVEN The Clinton County Commissioners adopted a $41.3 million dollar budget with no tax increase this week.
Chairman of the board Miles Kessinger said the budget did see a large increase due to the upcoming Bald Eagle Rail Trail improvements. However, that was expected since a preliminary budget was unveiled in November.
The increase, more than $2.8 million, is due to the Bald Eagle Valley Trail improvements, which will begin in 2021.
“The main increases in this year’s budget were due to the Bald Eagle Valley Trail. The $2.8 million that came in upped our budget that amount,” he said. “It’s going to basically be a pass-through with money given to us by PennDOT for construction of the trail.”
