Charlotte city leaders voted 8-3 to approve the Queen City's 2025 spending plan Monday night.
City officials have spent the last few weeks laying out their goals and making adjustments, including potential changes to the city’s 1.5 cent property tax increase, a possible $1 million in more funding for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in light of the April 29 ambush, and much more.
The final budget resulted in lowering the property tax increase to 1.37 cents.
Around $23 million in budget adjustments were made several weeks ago and the budget is a total of $4.16 billion after adjusting to the lower tax rate hike.
