City Chooses 25 Year Payout on Conservancy Debt
Athens officials Friday decided to spread the $141,807 cost for the Hocking Conservancy District flood protection over 25 years to avoid burdening current taxpayers. Mayor Raymond Shepard noted a lump sum would strain funds for a new pool, Route 33 bypass, Appalachian Highway work, and an East End fire substation. Auditor L Lee cited a 10 percent reduction for lump sum, but the city opted for the extended plan. Donald Johnson of the conservancy district confirmed other major contributors chose 25-year payments, with some property owners paying lump sums.
