Borough council will be voting on a new millage rate for the 2023 year at the Jan. 3, 2023, meeting. Council will consider shifting the rate to 15.2% for the purpose of increasing revenue for the borough. This will be a tax increase of 1.5%, as the current rate is 13.7%.

Council will also vote on naming a new borough road during the January meeting. The proposed ordinance will dedicate the roadway from the 1400 block of Main Street to the new extension addition of the Delaware and Lehigh Trail. The proposed name - Moyer Way - will honor former North Catasauqua Police Chief Kim Moyer.

All of the proposed ordinances can be viewed 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays-Fridays at the North Catasauqua Borough office, 1066 Fourth St. If any person viewing the ordinance requires the assistance of auxiliary aid, service or any other accommodations, contact the borough office at least five days before the council meeting.
