New Garden Township supervisors passed a 2025 budget with an 18% increase in property taxes, from 2.77 to 3.27 mills. A key component of next year’s budget will be to focus on township priorities as spelled out in its 2018 comprehensive plan — including stimulating economic development, investing in infrastructure, addressing the rising costs of public safety, implementing technology to enhance township operations, enhancing community services, preserving open space, expanding the New Garden Flying Field, and improving energy efficiencies.
