Levies Planned for Montgomery Juvenile Center in Dayton

Montgomery County voters will decide two levies on the fall ballot to build and operate a juvenile court center in Dayton. A three fourths mill levy funds construction and equipment including a domestic relations court, and a one fourth mill levy covers operating costs. Both run two years and aim to raise about 1 million dollars yearly. The center, costing about 1.5 million, will include a 60 bed detention home and is slated for the West Second and Perry streets area. Commissioner Harry J. Kiefaber projects 18 to 20 months after passage to complete the center. John McHugh notes the unit will allow future population growth.
