New Fairfield residents have approved a budget for the coming fiscal year. The $12.1 million municipal plan was approved by a smaller majority than the $42.8 million school budget. New Fairfield residents also approved a $1.4 million capital budget on Saturday. The spending plans call for half a million dollars for road repairs and funding for school resource officers, along with a police presence at the lower grade schools. The budget will lead to a 2.55 percent increase in taxes.
