Some Calhoun County voters will be heading to the polls Nov. 4 to consider millage proposals.
Village of Tekonsha
Tekonsha is asking voters to consider a renewal of a 3.75 mill through 2036 to provide funds for street and sidewalk maintenance, repair and rebuilding within the village. If approved, it would raise about $75,000 in the first year.
Olivet Community Schools
The district is asking voters to approve the non-homestead millage renewal.
If approved, it would allow the district to levy 18 mills on non-homestead property. Non-homestead property include industrial, commercial, and some agricultural property and second homes. It does not include primary residences. Schools must levy 18 mills on non-homestead properties to receive full state funding.
