BOWLING GREEN, Ohio-Bowling Green residents will see reduced taxes for the new high school construction, following the district’s successful $72.8 million bond levy. This levy secured a lower interest rate than expected, saving taxpayers over $18 million across 30 years.
While some initially questioned spending, they now commend the decision for savings. The decrease in taxes is hoped to foster acceptance of the new high school, seen as crucial for community growth. Despite this, another levy might be proposed in November to address rising costs, potentially in the form of an income tax. While residents may feel some frustration over increased expenses, many prioritize supporting schools and the community’s future. The school board is currently finalizing plans for the levy makeup, aiming to balance fiscal responsibility with educational needs.
