As the Nov. 4 General Election is quickly approaching, Greenwood County Commissioners revisited the discussion during their routine monthly meeting on Monday, Oct. 20, regarding the Eureka Township question that will appear for those residents to vote on. The Eureka Township recently approved a resolution, putting the following on the Nov. 4 ballot: “Shall all powers, duties and functions of the Eureka Township Board be transferred to the Greenwood County Board of County Commissioners and the township board hereby be abolished following the transfer of all assets and property to the board of county commissioners?”
During this week’s meeting, Commissioner Judd Everitt asked for clarification regarding the mill levy and budget moving forward. Road and Bridge Supervisor Allen Greenwood stated that with Eureka Township’s mill levy, the county would be able to absorb the workload without increasing the mill levy. However, he further elaborated that this will be to continue to maintain township roads; not if they were to maintain them as county roads.
