Where Is the Money Hickory Township Road Funds Held
Indignation rises as Hickory Township protests county treasurer withholding road tax money collected for road work. The sheriff began tax collection last year and was to finish by March this year, yet township funds remain unavailable. Residents urge investigation and timely remittance to avoid borrowing at high rates. They note a $50,000 bond plan with $25,000 sold, leaving $6,000 in taxes due and risk of unfavorable bond market. The county owes fair treatment to a major tax contributor and warns against further delays. Hickory Township asserts its rights within Catawba County and signals potential political implications if funds are not released.
