LOWER MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. â The Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners approved the township s 2021 budget during their Thursday night meeting. The vote was 5-0.
The nearly $14 million spending plan contains no tax increase on property owners. The millage rate remains at 0.50 for property taxes.
Among the largest sources of revenue is almost $5.7 million on earned income tax at a 1% rate. This tax is paid by township residents to Berkheimer Tax Innovations Inc., who collects the money for Lehigh County. Half of the money goes to Lower Macungie, and the other half goes to support the East Penn School District.
Another large revenue source providing $3.3 million is derived from solid waste charges. The fee for trash collection is $360 per household per year and covers the cost of collection by Waste Management Inc. The township collects $4.3 million in sewer fees paid by about 10,500 sewer customers.

A big, big snowstorm is on its way. Accu-Weather s Joe Lundberg gives us a time frame on when we ll see the flakes flying. It s going to start tomorrow afternoon around 3 or 4 o clock and then snow all night and exit early Thursday morning. So we re talking about a 15-to-17 hour storm but in that period it s going to snow very hard, Lundberg says. So hard, we might end up with one-to-two feet of snow by the time things settle down Thursday morning.
PennDOT says it s in a relatively good position to respond to the forecasted winter weather. While PennDOT fell short on its hiring goals for the season, the department has a surplus of salt to help treat the roads thanks to last year s mild winter. As is always the case with major snowstorms, PennDOT plans to prioritize interstates, expressways and high-volume roads first.
