Norcross approves budget with no property tax hike

The Norcross City Council approved a $24.2 million budget for 2012, an increase of about $150,000 from last year’s spending plan.

Council members on Monday unanimously adopted the budget and a millage rate of 6.42 mills, which means that Norcross residents will not see an increase in property taxes.

The budget will go into effect on Jan. 1.
