Road Infrastructure Improvement Millage - Independence Township

Shall the Charter Township of Independence be authorized to levy a new additional millage of up to 2.0 mills (a tax limitation increase of up to $2.00 per $1,000 of taxable value on all taxable property in the Township) for a limited period of four (4) years, starting with the December 2018 levy, for purposes of funding the improvement, rehabilitation and repair of County public roads including, but not limited to, parts of Sashabaw, Clintonville, Waldon, Maybee, Clarkston, White Lake, Andersonville, Holcomb, Flemings Lake, Walters, and Eston Roads (amounting to an estimated 28 miles of roadway) in the Charter Township of Independence? If approved and levied, it is estimated that this proposal will result in the authorization to collect an estimated $3,167,648 in the first year. It is estimated that 99.13% of the annual millage revenue will be disbursed to the Charter Township of Independence for public road improvements and, as required by law, 0.87% (8.7 tenths of one percent) will be disbursed to the Sashabaw Road Corridor Improvement Authority collected solely from properties located in the Sashabaw Road Corridor Improvement Authority District.
