Franklin officials hail an Ohio reappraisal that could keep about 82500 yearly in local tax funds for maintenance and avoid new taxes. Voters will decide July 12 whether to retain part of collected taxes locally or divert it to the state under a 23 year state aid plan.
The levy would run up to ten years to retire bonds totaling 515000 with roughly equal annual payments and an estimated six percent interest. Officials had calculated a five year 2 mill levy would raise about 105000 yearly, totaling 525000 under the old district valuation.
Officials cite repairs across Franklin district for July 12 vote with Pennyroyal and high school roof leaks. Projects include interior water damage, drainage fixes, crumbling walkways, and replacement of desks and kitchen equipment as bids are sought.
Warren County 4-H clubs receive the statewide Forestry Award from the National 4-H Service Committee and Cooperative Extension Service.
