The Arlington County Board approved an $888.5 million budget this weekend, $14.9 million more than the budget the county manager originally recommended in February.

One of the larger increases, $4.1 million over the original proposed budget, went toward a 1.5 percent raise for county employees. Maintenance and improvements to county buildings and property also received one of the larger increases, $4.7 million over the proposed budget.
