Moosic Borough Council has introduced a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The Proposed Budget presents a General Fund with revenues and expenditure of 5,983,404. million and Motor Gas Fund revenue and expenditures of $355,627for a total budget of 6,339,031. I am proud of the tremendous efforts our Borough has and continues to put forth toward mitigating the impacts of the the economy. Although the Borough remains fiscally positioned, there is much uncertainty as we move toward a recovery.  With increasing costs related increasing needs of residents and businesses as they navigate their own financial pressures, continued pressure from the state of the economy, collectively bargained wages and benefits increases, and rising law enforcements costs, how do we remain fiscally sustainable.  This year Council has chosen a path to stay fiscally sustainable by relying on our own revenue rising capacities and raise taxes 2 mills.

The budget is always a balancing act between meeting the increasing demands of a growing community, while improving service. In order to maintain the highest quality of services.  I am most proud of the efforts taken on by our employees to make service delivery a priority while sacrificing other initiatives.

This budget is funded by hard earned tax dollars.  Please take the time to look at it and offer advice that you deem is appropriate.

The Borough of Moosic Christmas tree is tall, really tall in fact. As such, it needs a lot of decorations to fill its many branches.  As in past years, the Borough is turning to the Elves from Itsy’s Bitsy bookworm daycare to make those decorations and hang them on the tree at the Community Tree Decorating event.  They spent time and energy that truly reflected the spirit of the Holidays. Thank you  Miss Hilda and all the elves from Itsy’s Bitsy daycare for all you have done to make our Christmas a little brighter.
