FY 2027 Recommended Budget
The town nearly doubled the annual solid waste fee from $154 to $270 because the old fee covered only about 55-65% of the $6.1 million it actually costs to collect trash for 22,000-plus households. The property tax rate stays at 22.7 cents. A former commissioner spoke in favor of the transparency; residents should expect the new fee on July tax bills.
Knox Crossing Mixed-Use Development
A 44-acre transit-oriented development with a grocery anchor, up to 486 units and the Seam Trail greenway at a major intersection. The board likes the intensity but is split on whether the urban design, greenway alignment and outstanding modifications are ready for a recommendation.
