Budget outlook shows Marion growth trims tax impact
Marion plans a 2007 budget adding five FTEs and modest tax shifts. Residential rates rise 0.5 percent while commercial and industrial taxes fall, aided by a higher city valuation and a favorable rollback. Capital projects include 29th Avenue extension, Highway 151 paving, Lowe Park work, and major sewer upgrades. Population nudges toward 29,000 as the city weighs a local-option tax to fund sewer work.
