Carrboro officials to adopt budget; forego tax increase

Carrboro residents are unlikely to see any property tax increases for next fiscal year.

The Carrboro Board of Alderman is slated to adopt a budget for fiscal year 2005-06 Tuesday.

The most expensive item in the $16.3 million budget involves extending city infrastructure to the newly annexed areas in the northern sector of the town, which will cost the town more than $250,000 next fiscal year.
