READ MOUTH TWP. – Voters in Readmond Township will see a five-year millage request on the November ballot to secure funding for road repair assistance.
Voters in the townships are being asked to vote on a €1 million proposal that would allow the township to levy money between 2024 and 2028. The millage would generate an estimated $90,922 annually for the municipality.
Voters in Carp Lake and Springvale townships approved similar $1 million requests for road repair funding during the August election.
