Rockland County Executive Ed Day Unveils 2025 Budget Plan

By Idy Perl

Rockland County Executive Ed Day revealed his proposed $876 million budget for 2025 at the Robert Yeager Health Complex in Pomona this afternoon. 

The proposed budget includes a 2% property tax cut to return money to residents' pockets while "remaining cautious."

“While most governments raise taxes to cover any expenses the County of Rockland is different," Day said. "We are operating efficiently by always finding ways to offset costs."

The plan also includes a 10% funding increase to nonprofit contract agencies, $1.3 million to the HERROES College Tuition Reimbursement Program for volunteer emergency responders, a Behavioral Health Training Institute and OPWDD Navigator Program, and a Cryptocurrency & Real Time Crime Center.

"We are operating this administration the way government should operate… by keeping spending low, alleviating costs, and re-investing in our residents," County Executive Ed Day said. "I pledge to continue the prudent and protective practices that have gotten us this far,”
