Council Considers Levy for Lights and Hydrants May Vote
Pomeroy village council will place a one half mill levy before voters in May to fund street lighting and hydrant rental, with expected revenue between 2500 and 3000 dollars. The measure aims to stop the lights from being turned off and to support a shift in policing costs, while plans for a sewage disposal project are discussed for a special February meeting. Public safety funding, vehicle bids, and the potential addition of an officer are also under study.
