NAUGATUCK As the budget season begins to unfold, Mayor N. Warren “Pete” Hess said he aims to keep taxes level while improving more roads.
“My goal is to hold taxes flat, or as close as possible, while simultaneously increasing significantly the amount of road paving that we’re going to be doing in the borough,” Hess said.
The budget this fiscal year is $127.1 million. The tax rate, which is among the highest in the state, is 47.75 mills.
The Board of Finance began budget workshops Jan. 25 to hear departments’ requests. The largest request on the docket last week was from the Naugatuck Fire Department.
