Overview
The 2026 South Whitehall Township Proposed Budget (hereinafter referred to as “2026 Proposed Budget”) is formally submitted to the Board of Commissioners and citizens of South Whitehall Township. The 2026 Proposed Budget reflects South Whitehall Township’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality municipal services, maintaining long-term fiscal stability, and advancing strategic community goals. This budget maintains current service levels while absorbing inflationary pressures, contractual wage increases, and infrastructure reinvestments.
The 2026 Proposed Budget sustains core services while absorbing cost increases related to labor, healthcare, and infrastructure without raising the general millage rate for the seventh consecutive year.
The proposed operating budget across all funds totals $49,396,173, and the General Fund budget totals $21,917,110.41.
The proposed usage of $4,187,809.87 in carryover funds from FY 2025 is summarized as follows:
- Interfund transfer to Capital for 2026 Projects -$1,491,125.76
- Remaining Cash Carry Forward from 2025 (approx.)- $2,696,684.11
- Interfund transfer from Fiscal Stability Fund in the amount of $872,578.00
The 2026 Proposed Budget advances transparency through refined department-level cost allocations, aligns with performance and policy goals, and prepares the Township for future capital obligations – particularly within fire, public works, and water infrastructure.
