Solebury holds the line on taxes, talks affordable housing

Published Friday, January 9, 2026

Solebury Township supervisors unanimously approved a 2026 budget with no increase in municipal taxes, keeping the overall rate at 25.91 mills, though 41 property owners in the Carversville area of town will see a $20 increase in their street lighting assessment. During the meeting, the board also announced the township’s annual electronic waste recycling event for May 2026. In addition, Supervisor Kevin Morrissey urged the township to begin a community-wide conversation about the potential need for affordable or starter housing. Morrissey emphasized that any move in that direction should involve broad public input and careful consideration of residents’ views, noting it is “a very big topic with many moving parts.”
