Two Annexation Paths Face Anderson Township Voters
Two annexation proposals are before Anderson Township residents. One, pushed by Mayor Ralph R. Ferguson, would annex all of Anderson Township outside the city with four municipalities excluded. The other, backed by former Mayor Noland C. Wright, seeks suburban developments west and northwest of the city. If Ferguson fails and Wright proceeds, township assessed value could drop from 22 million to 16 million, risking a heavier school tax burden. Voters should weigh long term consequences beyond current emotions.
