A town hall meeting to discuss the creation of Fire Taxation Districts to support volunteer fire fighting in Trimble County will be held on Monday, Feb. 26 at the Trimble County Public Library.
The meetings will be hosted by Magistrate Melissa Gibson-Cornish, Bedford Fire Chief Will McCoy, and Milton Fire Major Justin McQueary with sessions at two times at the library. The first session is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the large meeting room at the library and the second session is from 4 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. in the teen room at the library.
The purpose of the town hall is to present information on the proposed Bedford and Milton fire taxation districts and answer any questions residents have regarding the issue of providing fire protection to all Trimble County residents without the need for fire subscriptions.
McCoy and McQueary will have information on the cost of the proposal and computer models available to calculate cost to residents based on the valuation of their property.
“All residents have a right and a need to know how the proposed fire taxation district will affect them and we are here to provide answers to this proposal,” said Gibson-Cornish.
The town hall is open to all county residents regardless of whether they live in the city or the county.
