Livingston County Health Center to Request Nine-Cent Levy on April 7th

Due to the steady increase in operating expenses and ongoing decreases in state funding, Livingston County Health Center will be asking county voters to pass a nine-cent tax levy increase on Tuesday, April 7^th. 

The citizens of Livingston County voted in a tax-supported county health center in August of 1976.  At that time, a 10 cent levy was approved by voters.  Since then, the local public health agency has only gone to the voters once, in 1987, to ask for a levy increase of 15 cents. 

The requested nine-cent increase would bring the health department’s operating levy to 34 cents on $100 assessed valuation.   

Health center officials believe a sustained investment in the local health department will ensure county residents can reap the benefits of public health services for many years to come.

All services of the health center are provided on a non-discriminatory basis
