Cambridge Mayor Jan Liggett has presented the city's proposed 2026 Strong Mayor Budget, which aims to sustain over 140 municipal services and advance key infrastructure projects.

The proposal includes a 4.86% property tax increase, estimated at $85 per household for the year, to maintain existing service levels and fund strategic investments in recreation, infrastructure, and public safety.

"The city's budget is so much more than numbers on a page, it reflects the strategic priorities of the community and shapes the Cambridge of the future as a premier destination for families to call home, businesses to succeed, and visitors to enjoy festivals, events, and recreation – the full Cambridge experience," said Mayor Liggett.
