No Tax Increase In Cecil Township

In a special meeting held after a budget workshop, Cecil Township Supervisors approved their preliminary budget for 2025. The spending plan comes in at $18.5 million dollars. The budget is balanced and the good news for taxpayers is there will be no increase in taxes for the 31^st year in a row. Supervisor Chairman Tom Casciola said that development in Southpointe has been the main reason that taxes have remained steady. Residential and commercial development looks to be flat next year but Casciola said that the long dormant office, retail, residential project Cool Valley seems to be back on track. He hopes to see revenues from that project in 2027 at the earliest. The new public works building that is coming in at roughly $8 million is one of the larger projects for next year. A $1 million road paving project along with several road intersection projects are also anticipated. Supervisors will adopt the final budget in a special meeting on December 30.
