The Myth of Raised Taxes
Over the past 17 years, in talking with some residents of the Pottstown/Boyertown vicinity (at our bake sales and at local township meetings) we have heard comments that our opposition to the proposed hard-rock quarry, hot-mix asphalt plant, and ready-mix concrete facility, will significantly affect the taxes collected by New Hanover Township and Montgomery County.
​
During budget discussions in the fall of 2017, the Board of Supervisors noted that there has been no increase in the General Fund tax rate since 1993.
​
It appears that the myth of increased taxes (due to the legal fees incurred because of the fight against the quarry) is just that, a myth.
