Taxes may be going
up for New Rochelle residents.
The city just released a draft of the 2023
budget, which would hike taxes by just under 2%.
That means the
average homeowner would pay $72 more next year.
New Rochelle City Manager Charles Strome says
the $266.5 million budget is balanced and would maintain service levels after
dramatic changes in economic conditions caused by the coronavirus.
The budget also adds nine police officers and five firefighter
positions.
