Grove City council holds line on property taxes for a quarter-century

In the day of tax and spend and ever increasing property taxes, our sincere applause goes out to Grove City, PA who for 25 years have held the line and not increased their property tax. Grove City, PA demonstrates an example of integrity toward their taxpaying homeowners.

The city council need to be congratulated and held up as an example to be copied everywhere taxes are levied. Vance Oakes, borough manager, was pleased with the budget. Not raising property taxes in the borough for 25 years needed to be "pointed out," he said. "I feel that’s a milestone."

It’s Oakes’ first time putting together the budget for the borough after he left the borough manager’s position in Greenville earlier this year to replace Terence Farren in Grove City.
