Chestnuthill Township Residents Prepare for Halloween 2017 Amidst Infrastructure Upgrades

As the spooky season of Halloween 2017 approaches, Chestnuthill Township is gearing up for its annual festivities amidst significant infrastructure upgrades in the area. The township has been working on several short-term projects aimed at improving culverts, bridges, and roads over the next five years.

To ensure that these projects are adequately funded, Chestnuthill Township adopted a 2.25 mill real estate tax dedicated to infrastructure capital improvement projects. This decision was made by Township Manager Dave Albright, who emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to funding multiple capital projects.

The total budget for these projects has increased by $700,000 in 2018 compared to the previous year's budget of $5.8 million. Homeowners can expect to pay more in municipal taxes this year, with an average increase of $56.25 for properties worth $100,000. Of the total tax amount, 2.25 mills will be allocated towards road and bridge improvements.

The township has also raised its millage rate for general and capital improvements from 5.2 mills in 2017 to 7.23 mills in 2018. This means that Chestnuthill Township residents can expect a slight increase in their tax bills next year.

Despite these changes, the township is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable Halloween experience for its residents. With its focus on infrastructure upgrades, Chestnuthill Township is ensuring that its community remains a great place to live, work, and celebrate the spooky season.
