The Town of Sweden’s 2019 Tentative Budget has been filed. The $5.5 million spending plan includes funding for several infrastructure projects: sidewalks on Owens Road (pending additional grant funding), road and parking lot reconstruction and engineering costs for potential water expansion.
The tentative tax rate is $4.59 per thousand of assessed valuation in the Town outside the Village of Brockport; $2.54 per thousand in the Village of Brockport. The tax levy of $2.7 million stays within the NYS tax cap. The Sweden Town Board will likely adopt the 2019 Preliminary Budget on October 9 and hold a budget hearing on the budget October 23.
