The Town of Sutton has announced the details of the 2021 budget and there are few changes compared to the 2020 financial year. There was no discussion of COVID-19 impacting the towns budgets.<\/p>\n
The towns total revenue in 2020 was $11.6 million and is forecasted to total just over $12 million in 2021.<\/p>\n
The largest portion of the town\u2019s budget was allocated to the transportation sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key objective is to minimize increases in taxes,\u201d stated Lynda Graham, Town of Sutton councillor.<\/p>\n
Residential taxes will increase by 0.8 per cent, industrial taxes will remain stable, and agricultural tax will see a decrease of 2.3 per cent.<\/p>\n
The COVID-19 pandemic forced increased spending in some sectors. Public security services will see an increased tax rate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was increased spending for public security, which unfortunately, will continue in 2021. For example, the extra costs of cleaning, supplies of masks and gloves,\u201d explained Graham.<\/p>\n
The Town of Sutton anticipates collecting $6.2 million worth of grants this year.<\/p>\n
