Top issues during term (18)
highway extension
It could cost a pretty penny upfront, but better transit usually means a major boost in local business and property values down the line.
prison redevelopment
Leaving this prime property undeveloped means our city is missing out on potential tax revenue and a boost to local property values.
cybersecurity breach
Taxpayers might end up footing the bill for pricey new software or IT security upgrades to lock down future virtual meetings.
park regulations
It might mean extra costs for park locks and stepped-up police patrols.
fireworks regulation
You could get hit with a pricey fine if you ignore the new rules and set off unauthorized fireworks.
elected official misconduct
While the exact dollar amount isn't clear yet, scandals like this usually end up costing taxpayers extra money in legal fees and special proceedings.
election results
Too early to tell, but a new council could mean changes to your local taxes and city spending down the road.
stormwater authority fee
Property owners will face an ongoing, out-of-pocket fee added to their local expenses to fund these infrastructure upgrades.
council resignation
Filling the empty seat will likely cost the city a bit of administrative cash, but no major tax dollars are shifting yet.
small business relief
Eligible small business owners could see much-needed cash injections to help keep their doors open.
police body cameras
While buying and maintaining all those cameras and video storage isn't cheap, it's a necessary investment for modern policing.
flood hazards
Getting a handle on this flood data could save you thousands in property damage and steep insurance hikes down the road.
historic preservation and public transit
Taxpayers could end up footing a hefty bill depending on whether the city decides to restore an old historic building or overhaul a busy transit hub.
sewer sale
Your monthly sewer bills could jump significantly if a private company takes over and looks to turn a profit.
homeless encampments
City taxpayers will likely foot the bill for whatever new policies, social services, or enforcement measures the council decides to fund.
courtesy development
It's a massive $430 million investment that will pump serious cash into downtown development and local businesses.
homelessness
Right now, there's no major price tag attached, but better community understanding could lead to smarter spending on local housing and support services down the road.
homelessness policy
City taxpayers could end up footing a bigger bill if Norristown absorbs a larger share of regional homelessness costs without help from neighboring towns.
