Franklin County held a budget meeting in Harrietstown, where it detailed a proposed $141.27 million budget for the coming year. The tentative budget calls for a 0% increase to taxes, though the county plans to dip into its reserves to balance the budget. The proposed tax levy of $19.66 million represents a 2.48% increase over last year, which is mostly attributed to new construction and renovations.
