Glenwood to Seek 10 Percent Residential Valuation Boost
The Mills county Board of Review votes two to one to ask the State Board of Review to reconvene the county board and adjust Glenwood residential realty values upward by 10 percent. County Assessor Harry Markel says the move is fair and will not raise taxes by 10 percent, though it aligns Glenwood with other areas in the county. Warren Honeyman of Emerson and Raymond Bloedel of Malvern supported the request. Bert Colwell of Glenwood opposed.
