Irvington’s 2025-26 capital budget totals $10,358,472, which is up roughly $1.1 million from the previous year’s spending on major improvements to Village facilities and infrastructure. Of that total, $6,690,472 will be funded by bonds, while $3,368,000 will come from other sources such as grants, the Village’s existing fund balance, or money borrowed in the previous year and applied to a project that increased in cost before being approved the next year. The budget was approved during a public board of trustees
meeting on Monday, June 16.
