Referendum will seek funds for Blackberry Township roads

When Blackberry Township voters hit the polls in April, they’ll be asked to nearly double the taxes they pay to the township’s road district for road maintenance.

The April 9 referendum will include a question on whether to approve raising the limiting tax rate for the township road district from 16.5 cents per $100 of equalized assessed valuation to 30.26 cents.

Highway Commissioner Rodney Feece said he knows the economy hasn’t been the greatest and it still isn’t, but he said he has to try something.
