Carrboro Town Council Approves FY27 Budget, Restores Human Services Funding Without Tax Increase

The Carrboro Town Council approved the FY27 budget and capital improvement plan. The budget includes a balanced approach with a total of $44.6 million across all funds. Key decisions included restoring human services funding to base levels by allocating an additional $197,130 from the fund balance, which was offset by a matching appropriation. The council also decided against a property tax increase for the upcoming fiscal year. The Bowling Creek Greenway phases three and four were kept as an approved infrastructure project within the transit plan, despite public comments urging their removal due to cost and environmental concerns.
