Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Huntersville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
FY 2027 Recommended Budget
The town nearly doubled the annual solid waste fee from $154 to $270 because the old fee covered only about 55-65% of the $6.1 million it actually costs to collect trash for 22,000-plus households. The property tax rate stays at 22.7 cents. A former commissioner spoke in favor of the transparency; residents should expect the new fee on July tax bills.
Knox Crossing Mixed-Use Development
A 44-acre transit-oriented development with a grocery anchor, up to 486 units and the Seam Trail greenway at a major intersection. The board likes the intensity but is split on whether the urban design, greenway alignment and outstanding modifications are ready for a recommendation.
