Graniteville asks residents to vote on police protection options
A countywide questionnaire offered options for Graniteville police service funding. The choices include paying about $200000 to Graniteville Company for one year, adding $90000 to hire four deputies and an investigator, or pursuing incorporation with new taxes. Residents weigh service levels and potential dual taxation, while a special tax district option would set millage to fund protection. A public hearing and final council vote will follow the survey.
