Chatham-Kent residents will get their first look at the 2017 draft budget Wednesday night.
Budget chair Derek Robertson previously told BlackburnNews.com he expects it to contain a proposed tax increase of somewhere around 2%.
The document will be presented at 6pm at the Civic Centre in Chatham, followed by any submissions from residents.
For the first time, the municipality will also be streaming the presentation via Facebook Live.
