Hazle Township adopts 2025 budget; supervisors say revenues and grants keep rates steady
Summary
Hazle Township supervisors adopted the 2025 budget on Dec. 9 after a public display period; township officials said earned income tax revenue is strong, garbage fees will remain unchanged, and grants fund much of the road work.
Hazle Township supervisors adopted the 2025 budget on Dec. 9, 2024, following a public display period. The motion to adopt the budget was moved by Bob Fiume, seconded by Jim Montone, and approved by unanimous roll call (Montone, Fiume, Griguoli).
Ray Zavada (J.H. Williams & Co.) presented the budget during the Nov. 12 meeting when the board placed the draft on public display. Zavada told supervisors that the earned income tax (EIT) collection is strong, building permit activity is up, and that grant funding is covering many road department expenditures. He also said the liquid fuels allocation is slightly reduced from the prior year but would not affect the overall plan, and that garbage fees will remain at their current rate for 2025.
The board did not record specific cuts or new taxes in the meeting minutes. The minutes state only that the budget was introduced for public inspection and later adopted; they do not include a line‑by‑line revenue/expenditure table in the published minutes excerpted here.
What’s next: With board adoption, the budget becomes the township’s official spending plan for 2025. The minutes do not list a detailed public outreach schedule or subsequent policy changes tied to the budget adoption.
