North Strabane Approves Preliminary Spending Plan

North Strabane Supervisors unanimously approved a preliminary budget for 2025 at their legislative meeting. No tax increase is in store for residents as the approved balanced budget totals $22,662,084. That number was reduced by more than $250,000 from last week’s agenda meeting, as the line item for the Majestic Hills sewage repair was lessened through monies received from grants and lawsuits. The spending plan has two big construction projects, the completion of the public safety building on Rt. 19 and the renovation of the former Lighthouse Electric building that will become the new municipal complex. As for infrastructure, the Vandale Bridge is also slated to be replaced next year. Supervisors will formally adopt the budget at their December 17 legislative meeting.
