Mayor lays out priorities as Lantana highlights $31.4M budget and infrastructure progress
Summary
Mayor Karen Lithgow reviewed accomplishments—water and wastewater upgrades, park improvements, public-safety equipment—and reiterated the town's $31.4 million budget aligned with council priorities while previewing visioning and beach projects.
Mayor Karen Lithgow delivered an executive summary of town accomplishments and priorities, noting infrastructure investments and the recently adopted budget. She told residents, "every dollar that Lantana collects for your property taxes, we only get 19¢ of it," to explain the town's limited share of collected property tax and to outline how the town leverages grants and fund balance to complete projects.
The mayor cited specific projects: nearly-complete Phase 2 of the West Pine Street water-main work, water treatment plant upgrades including new chlorine tanks, park beautification and median landscaping initiatives, and investments in public-safety equipment such as license-plate readers and an aerial drone. She said the town adopted a $31,400,000 budget aligned with council priorities and announced a new visioning session planned for April to set top priorities moving forward.
