Township's 2025 fiscal year budget includes third consecutive year of no tax increases
The Abington Township Board of Commissioners has been already at work preparing the proposed budget for the 2025 Fiscal Year. Its initial presentation was held on Oct. 1 to show the public its concepts. The Commissioners are preparing once again to host a Special Meeting to consider its adoption on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.
