Northumberland County supervisors voted 4-0 Thursday to borrow $3.4 million to cover a $5 million revenue anticipation note, fund capital improvements, and bolster the undesignated fund balance. About $995,000 will go to tax-exempt bonds for capital projects, including replacing aging election equipment, with the remaining $2.43 million for other priorities. Officials say the funding will ensure liquidity and support ongoing county operations. The loan is expected to close in late November, with funds available by mid-December ahead of the $5 million note’s due date.
