KILKENNY BUSINESS will not face a commercial rates increase in 2010 following the decision by Kilkenny Local Authorities to freeze rates for the third year in a row.
Kilkenny County Council has also agreed to reduce water charges by 1.5%. It is hoped that these decisions will help to ease the financial burden that many local businesses are experiencing.
The total expediture for Kilkenny County Council's 2010 budget is €70.3 million. This is a decrease of €6.2 million on the budget for 2009.
