VOORHEESVILLE — For more than a decade, the village of Voorheesville has pursued a seemingly simple goal: silence. 

The village property tax rate is set to increase 1.43 percent next year, from about $1.36 per $1,000 of assessed value this year to approximately $1.38 per $1,000 next year.

If approved, next year’s budget would represent a 0.15-percent increase over this year and a nearly 6 percent increase in the property tax levy.

The plan will now be folded into the town’s 2018 comprehensive plan and “used as a reference tool in the development, management, and protection of New Scotland’s natural resources, and in making future land use decisions,” the resolution adopting the plan states.
