Mid-County Tax Levy Not Raising Taxes

Officials in the Mid-County Fire District are asking patrons to approve, what amounts to, a no tax-increase levy which appears on the November 8^th ballot. Chief Scott Frandsen says the issue may seem confusing but that’s because ballot language must be specific.

If approved, proceeds from the issue will be used, in part, to provide paid personnel for staffing Station #2 in Greenview along with various capital improvements. Among the planned improvements include building a new fire station on Pier-31 Road, upgrades to the station houses in Roach and Decaturville and replacing several pieces of aging equipment.
