Tax Hike Necessity for Guilford County Schools
Guilford County faces higher taxes to fund school construction as officials consider a one cent sales tax increase or higher property taxes. County Manager Jon Witherspoon says a joint meeting of the Board of Commissioners and the three boards of education is possible to discuss projected needs and financing. He notes a sales tax rise could reduce property tax hikes, while another option is using borrowed funds repaid by tax revenue. The sales tax plan requires voter approval in November under a state mandate for all counties.
