Belknap County Delegation members voted Wednesday night to approve a new budget that includes a 4.4% increase in taxes. The approved budget also features cuts to planned capital improvement projects.
The delegation, which represents Belknap County at the Statehouse, made these adjustments to address financial priorities while managing county expenses for the upcoming year.
**Why this matters**
The tax increase will affect property owners in Belknap County, potentially raising their tax bills. Reductions in capital improvements may delay infrastructure and facility upgrades, impacting long-term county development and services.
