Language Revised for Natural Areas Millage

By

At their Sept. 1, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners approved minor revisions to ballot language for a millage renewal to fund the county’s natural areas preservation program. At its Aug. 4 meeting, the board approved putting the NAPP millage 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 approved by voters.
