Atikokan town council is looking at bringing in a budget next Monday that could include a two per cent tax increase.
Mayor Dennis Brown says they're trying to be cognisant of the financial challenges now faced by residents.
"We're looking at it that if its 2 per cent the average taxes would go up $25.00," says Brown. "Hopefully, we can come in better than that but we have a little more work to do on it."
Brown says plans for a new arena are still on the books, but won't proceed unless it receives some government assistance.
