Arcanum Street Levy Talk - tonight @ 7:00 p.m.

Perhaps the most frequently asked question I get is, "When will we get our streets fixed?" The answer is, "We have a plan."

Our plan includes applying treatments to preserve some streets, patching some areas, partial resurfacing some streets and completely replacing some streets from sidewalk to sidewalk.

Our current street replacement project is West George Street from Sycamore to the west edge of town. This project is partially funded by Ohio Public Works grants and by loans paid for by our property taxes.

Because we must borrow money over time to pay for large projects, we need be to assured that we have a guaranteed income source. We have placed a 1.5 mil street levy on the ballot for this November's election. This is projected to generate about $ 52,000 annually which we will use for street reconstruction and replacement.

We want to be sure everyone has all of their questions about this levy answered. We have planned a street levy town hall meeting, October 20th, 7:00 PM at the firehouse.
