Athens voters urged to approve three city bond issues
Athens officials campaign to pass three bond issues at the November 2 election. The plan would finance notes for street and sewer work, a new fire truck and equipment, and a city hall remodel, with a 1.6 mill real estate levy for nine years. If rejected, fire insurance rates rise, and city services face funding shortfalls.
