The 2022 Budget for the City of Melville was approved at their city council meeting last night, and it includes a nearly 8% tax hike. That’s due to infrastructure projects like sewage lagoon upgrades, landfill expansion and road pavement replacement included in the 2022 budget. Some capital projects for the city that are included in the budget include Phase 1 of Lagoon upgrade. It will add an average $12.50/month per household, and approximately 30 bucks a month for businesses.
