County Executive Lamont G. McClure\u00a0<\/strong>is pleased to approve the 2024 budget for the County of Northampton today, December 11th. For the fifth year, the budget did not raise taxes. In 2022, County Council passed Executive McClure\u2019s one mil property tax cut.<\/p>\n

Expenditures were cut by 3.2% from the 2023 budget. (Expenses have decreased by\u00a014.2<\/u>% in the last two years.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank County Council and the Department of Fiscal Affairs for working on this budget,\u201d says Executive Lamont McClure. \u201cI\u2019m disappointed to see funds taken away from the Lead Abatement Program that will ultimately leave vulnerable children at risk from lead exposure. However, this budget will allow the County of Northampton to operate efficiently. I\u2019m proud that Farmland Preservation, Open Space programs, and Gracedale Nursing Home are fully funded and that Gracedale will not require any additional money from the County next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The County of Northampton\u2019s Adopted 2024 Budget and Capital Improvements Plan is now available on the County website:<\/p>\n
