Greenburgh OKs Budget With 'Probable' Tax Rate Reduction

GREENBURGH, NY — The Town of Greenburgh trustees approved the budget for 2020 last week and, according to officials, there is good news for taxpayers. Supervisor Paul Feiner said the board OK'd a budget with no hike in the tax levy and a probable tax rate reduction next year.

In an email to the community, Feiner said he was not aware of other municipal governments in the county that have reduced their tax rates.

He said Westchester County also approved a budget with a probable tax rate deduction.

Feiner said the tax levy remains the same as in 2019: $9,321,202 for the town entire and $59,201,693 for the town outside.

"The levy remained the same even with the inclusion of funds for investment in infrastructure, three union contract settlements, new social media and economic development initiatives," he said.

"The town continues to seek grant opportunities to offset some of the town's costs," Feiner said.
