WilmingtonBiz Talk: Wilmington Mayor Saffo On The City's Budget

By Vicky Janowski, posted Jun 18, 2021

The Wilmington City Council on Tuesday passed the $242 million budget for the next fiscal year.

Like the county, it too includes a lower tax rate than before but carries expectations for slightly higher tax bills for property owners – on average $36 more – because of higher revaluations.

Joining us for this week’s WilmingtonBiz Talk was Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo to talk about the city’s spending priorities and projects.
