Tryon approves budget without tax rate Town awaiting state decision on $90k in revenue by Leah Justice
Tryon Town Council adopted a budget last week without setting a tax rate. The town is waiting on the North Carolina state legislature to adopt its budget and decide whether or not to release hold
harmless revenue to local governments this year. This revenue was created by the state to offset any potential loss for cities and towns as the state collected sales tax monies from counties to cover its costs of taking on Medicaid. Tryon’s hold harmless revenue for this year was estimated at about $90,000.
