Nelsonville Voters Face Three Local Tax Levs
Nelsonville voters will decide three local tax rate proposals at the Tuesday election alongside state and county measures. A three mill city school levy would keep the current rate at 19.40 per thousand. a county-wide one mill levy would raise the rate for all subdivisions to 20.40 to aid the Children’s Home and County Home. and a 1.5 mill city levy would fund street lighting, raising Nelsonville’s rate to 21.90. Council-backed, the levies target current operating needs amid shrinking taxpayer budgets.
