Watervliet announces no new tax increase for second year

There will now be back-to-back years of no tax increase for people living in Watervliet.

Mayor Charles Patricelli made the announcement at Thursday night’s city council meeting. He says the city council understands the continued financial stress homeowners are feeling because of inflation.

The mayor also highlighted the accomplishments the city has made over the last year, including upgrades to city streets and parks, as well as several improvements to Watervliet City Hall.

The mayor says the city will continue to work in 2023 on several projects to improve the city and save taxpayers money.
