\r\nThey will probably set it to a rollback rate of 8.896 mills,\r\nwhich is a reduction of 1.315 mills from 2022.\r\nThat includes Industrial Authority 1.00 mill and VLPRA 1.25 mills.\r\n

\r\nThe Lowndes County Commission will also separately set the Fire District Millage Rate for 2023.\r\nThey propose 2.50 mills, which is the same as for last year.\r\n

\r\nOnly one of the three beer and wine licenses gets a public hearing.\r\nWhy only that one is not clear, since the other two are also because of change of ownership.\r\n

\r\nAnd there’s a bid for an Animal Services Chassis Box.\r\n

The board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is\r\n\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
