Despite a growing population, the Town of Marana has kept its budget growth near 2 percent for years, and did so again last week with the passage of next year’s spending plan.
The entire budget is $143.8 million, half of which will be used for operational costs, 40 percent for capital outlay and about 9 percent for debt service.
Considering that the town’s overall expenses are increasing at a high rate, town manager Jamsheed Mehta said the town has been able to keep its overall budget increase rate low at just under 2 percent growth from last year.
