The Tupper Lake Town Board is slated to hold two public hearings beginning at 4 p.m. Monday at town hall, both concerning the proposed 2026 town budget.

The first hearing is for public comment on the budget itself, and the second is for public comment on a local law that would need to be passed in order to override the 2% tax increase cap for the budget, which is set by the state. The current proposed budget is set to increase tax rates by 3.85%, according to town Accountant Samantha Davies.
