ANSONIA – Two speakers raised questions about Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti’s proposed budget at a virtual public hearing on Monday (May 6).
Cassetti’s $67.1 million budget is a $2.6 million – or about 4 percent – more than the 2023 — 2024 budget approved last June.
Cassetti’s budget includes a 0.25 mill rate increase, from 26.24 mills to 26.49 mills. If approved, this would be the first mill rate increase in Ansonia since 2019.
If the budget is accepted as proposed, a single-family house on Holbrook Street assessed at $180,000 would pay $45 more per year in taxes.
DERBY– For the past 124 years, Derby Elks Lodge #571 has been lending a helping hand and spreading goodwill to Valley organizations and beyond from its headquarters on Elizabeth Street.
Whether they’re handing out scholarships to high school students, collecting food for Valley folks in need, or making Christmas morning brighter by ensuring local kids have presents under the tree, the Derby Elks’ charitable spirit knows no bounds.
“The Derby Lodge of Elks is a great community of people who work together to help others,” said Elks’ Esteemed Leading Knight Maria Blackwell in an email to the Valley Indy. “Working together to make a difference in the lives of others creates a bond between members.”
