STATEMENT

 

      This bill bill makes a supplemental appropriation of $75,000 from the General Fund to the Department of the Treasury for a special State aid payment to the Township of Cherry Hill in lieu of payment of property taxes for municipal services to be provided to a newly purchased Department of Transportation building located at One Executive Campus. When the State acquires property that results in the property coming off the municipality’s tax rolls, that acquisition effectively increases the tax burden for the remaining property taxpayers in that community. The State budget should provide an adequate annual appropriation for payment of in lieu of taxes when new properties are acquired by the State to reimburse municipalities for the locally provided services the State properties receive. This appropriation provides for that payment in this instance.
