Burlington County Freeholders are holding a board meeting on Wednesday, June 24 to consider raising the millage rate that is designated toward open space. In 2013, Burlington County rolled back its Open Space tax from 4 cents to 1.5 cents. Weve heard that the Freeholders are considering rolling the amount back up to 4 cents.

Burlington County has the opportunity to build out many miles of the following trails.
