Guilderland Adopts $50.7M Budget as McKownville Fire Levy Jumps 87 Percent

Guilderland’s town board has adopted a $50.7 million budget for next year, a spending plan that climbs about 6.3 percent over this year’s budget and pushes property taxes higher across most of the town. The increase comes as employee benefits, particularly health insurance and retirement contributions, eat up a growing share of town spending, while one small fire district faces an eye-popping levy jump tied to a new firehouse project.
