2026 PRELIMINARY BUDGET MESSAGE

2026 PRELIMINARY BUDGET MESSAGE

The Preliminary Budget for general and highway purposes totals $20.3 million.

As proposed, the tax rate for Town residents will increase 1.51% or $1.05 per thousand of assessed value.  This is $5.66 for a home valued at $225,000.  Total spending is $1.9 million greater or 4.47% over the adopted budget for 2025.  The increase is due to necessary contractual expenditures including a roof for the Highway Garage, additions to the Planning Dept., Road Paving and a significant increase in New York State Retirement.

The Town is continuing its effort to provide preventative road repair as a more efficient method for maintaining roads. The 2026 budget includes a total appropriation for paving of $2.5 million. 

 The Town has been and will continue to be proactive in securing grant funding for various projects throughout Clay.  Some of the upcoming grants include:

• Three Rivers - BOA Pre-development Project
• Three Rivers – CFA Funding to shore up the river edge
• Project Green Education Center
• NYSERDA – 2 EV Charging Stations/EV Truck/LED Lighting
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
  • Crossroads Park: Repaving Project
  • Maltage Dr. & Woodard Way: Repaving Project

As always the Town of Clay strives to provide the best possible delivery of services to our residents at the least possible cost.

Town of Clay Memorial Park

The Town of Clay Town Board held an official ribbon cutting of its new Memorial Park, located at the main Town Hall on Monday, May 26, 2025.

This meaningful addition to the community was made possible through a grant from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) which offers a serene space to reflect and remember cherished loved ones. At its heart stands a powerful monument dedicated to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, honoring the lives lost, including military personnel, firefighters, police officers, rescue teams, and all those who heroically contributed to the rescue efforts on that tragic day.

We hope you'll stop by and visit this special area and stroll through the commemorative brick pathway. Personalized bricks may be purchased for $50, offering a lasting tribute to your loved one as part of this living memorial.

To order a brick, please contact the Supervisor’s Office to request a Brick Order Form by emailing supervisor@townofclay.org. Or fill out the form below and submit to the Supervisor's Office.
