The Sussex County Council has given its blessing to a proposed $143 million budget for the next fiscal year starting July 1st.
The spending plan does not include any increase in the property tax but does provide new dollars from the cash reserves to pay for critical services and infrastructure.
The budget also provides money for additional Delaware State Troopers in Sussex County.
There’s also $8 million for a pilot project to start major upgrade at the wastewater treatment facilities that will double their capacity.
