Northumberland County Council has had its first look at the 2020 budget, which totals $140.6 million and will see a levy increase of 3%, if approved.
That hits the target that council had suggested.
The breakdown shows an operating budget of $103.9 million and a capital budget of $30 million, with $6.7 million being transferred to reserves.
Some of the major capital projects proposed, as part of the county’s 10-year plan, include $126.8 million for road and bridge work, $53.9 million for community housing, $16.6 million for the Campbellford Bridge project and others.
