The town approved first reading on their 2019-20 budget. The $1,115,500 budget is almost the same as last year, except for public works, which is $30,000 less due to the changes with Pelzer, according to Mayor Blake Sanders. A public hearing and second reading will be held on June 4. There is no tax increase and millage will remain at 94.
