2021 Municipal Budget Adopted By Council

2021 Robbinsville Township Municipal Budget Adopted by Council

Includes 9th Straight Year of Flat or Reduced Taxes
 
ROBBINSVILLE, NJ – (June 10, 2021) - Robbinsville Township Council members Thursday adopted the 2021 municipal budget of $25,935,904.02 - a budget featuring a flat or reduced tax rate for the ninth consecutive year - following a public hearing and vote.
 

The 2021 rate remains steady at 51.8 cents per $100 of assessed value (also 51.8 in 2019 and 2020), with the average assessed home in Robbinsville valued at $378,500. A penny in the Robbinsville tax rate is worth $264,254.59.

Among the key investments is $200,000 ($600,000 over three years) to join the Mercer County Police Radio System, which will expand coverage to ensure officer safety. The current system is at the end of its useful life and the new system will allow immediate communication ability with other municipal, county and state agencies. If the Mercer County Rapid Response partnership is activated, the RTPD’s new radios will provide interoperability with other responding agencies.

"Considering everything we've all been through and emerging from a pandemic, nine straight years of flat or reduced taxes is just remarkable," Township Council President Mike Cipriano said. 

Other allocations include $1.67 million for water main improvements at Newtown Village, approximately $2 million to construct an all-purpose recreation facility near the old pool at Miry Run, $220,000 to expand the existing and very popular volleyball courts at the Municipal Complex behind the library and funding for a new all-abilities playground at Tantum Park. As part of a three-year project, $350,000 from the open space fund has been allocated for walking and biking paths, along with other elements at Miry Run. Funds also have been earmarked for additional affordable housing programs and road restoration projects, including the completion of Voelbel Road and the developments at Hillside and Windswept.
