Set to be on the August 6 ballot will be a renewal of the Berrien County Senior Centers millage.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners this week heard from Annette Krieger-Christie, assistant to the county administrator, about the millage. It pays for operations at all seven senior centers around the county.
“The original senior center millage was passed in 1988, and it supported at that time, six,” Krieger-Christie said. “In 2004, there was another one was opened in Buchanan, and so the amount was raised.”
Kriger-Christie said the millage would raise about $3 million per year if approved.
“The 2023 millage collection, each center will receive approximately $406,000. The resolution that’s as your added resolution today on the agenda is the terms for that.”
Commissioners Thursday signed off on the allocation of millage funds to each of the seven senior centers. Each gets the same amount from the millage each year.
The four-year millage renewal sought by the county would be a levy of 0.2997 mills.
