Sprinfield infrastructure levy to be decided by voters

In Spring­field Town­ship, vot­ers have a bal­lot ques­tion to con­sider in the form of a new, five year 1.5 mill levy to help pay for roads and other infra­sc­ture there. Town­ship offi­cials call it crit­i­cal con­sid­er­ing the loss of fund­ing from the estate tax, which the state elim­i­nated. They say the levy would cost the owner of a home val­ued at 100-thousand dol­lars an addtional $52.50 per year. In total the town con­tains roughly 28 miles of roadway.
