Prince Edward County council will begin a week’s worth of work coming up with its 2025 budget today (Monday).
After an overview council will begin with its capital budget which staff is bringing in at $65.1 million.
Almost $56 million of that is for roadwork with $44 million being set aside for the rehabilitation of County Road 49.
The capital budget will not affect resident’s taxes.
Meanwhile staff is proposing an operating budget with a 4.2 percent tax increase. If passed as presented that increase would translate to about $150 more on a residential property worth $300,000 or almost $300 more on a home assessed at $600,000.
