Graham property owners could see a 14.5 percent increase in the city’s property-tax rate under a proposed $36.52 million budget presented to the City Council on July 23.
Graham is preparing for an estimated $35.19 million rehabilitation of its 48-year-old wastewater treatment plant, a multiyear project that will drive higher sewer bills for city customers.
