## Resource

Catawba County just approved a $264 million budget without raising property taxes — a major win for homeowners — while shelving a proposed tax hike meant for future school construction. The approved budget funds education, public safety, parks, recreation, and economic development, showing commissioners are prioritizing immediate needs over long-term school projects. Residents breathe easier knowing their tax bills stay flat, but the future of school funding remains uncertain without that tax boost.
