Dorchester County Budget Boom

Dorchester County just approved a massive $400 million budget — nearly $110 million more than last year — without raising taxes, thanks to booming business growth, especially from tech giants like Google funding the county’s coffers. This surge is helping schools avoid tax hikes too. The new budget funds big-ticket items: new multi-use paths, a fire station ambulance, an X-ray room at a medical facility, and even plans for an animal shelter and livestock facilities. Upgrades include expanded water and sewer systems, a new fire station in Summer’s Corner, and a community paramedic to streamline emergency care. All set to kick off July 1st — a win for growth, services, and smarter spending. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
