County Natural Areas Millage Goes on Ballot

By

Voters will be making a choice in November about whether to renew a tax to support Washtenaw County’s natural areas preservation program. At their Aug. 4, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners voted unanimously to put the NAPP millage renewal on the Nov. 2, 2010 ballot. The 10-year millage was first approved by voters in 2000, and will have generated about $27.5 million by the time it expires. The 0.2409 mill tax is expected to raise roughly $3.5 million in annual revenues if it passes.
