Westfield Township Eyes Fire District Levy for Ballot
Westfield Township trustees gave first reading to a resolution for a 2.5 mill fire district levy on the November 5 general election ballot. The five year levy would raise about $310,600 annually, costing a $100,000 home roughly $87.50 per year. The district's 2024 budget is $697,449, about $5,000 less than 2023, with trustees citing rising equipment costs and a smaller budget.
