BUTLER TWP — Butler Township's proposed 2022 budget does not call for a tax increase for residents, according to township manager Tom Knights.

Knights said at a budget workshop meeting Thursday that the township will focus instead on earning revenues through other opportunities to fund its departments in 2022.

He said user fees, the township garbage contract and recycling and future development could be bigger sources of income for the township in the future.

“We need to be vigilant when revenue opportunities arise,” Knights said. “We really want people to be thoughtful, mindful, creative at looking at different revenue services.”

Township commissioners will make a motion on the budget proposal later this month.
