No Increase in Taxes for Hempstead County Court House

Vote for Removal to Build New Court House Now
The Quorum Court can use one mill of the County General Tax for building purposes without a tax increase to fund a new court house. A government grant of 67500 is available, while state funding covers salary expenses totaling over 5000. The favorable Hope site spans about two city blocks near Highway 67 and the business district, offering a quiet, shaded, level location bought by the city for 20000.
