Library millage approved in Colon Township

Colon Township voters on Tuesday approved renewal of a five-year millage sought by the township library.

Voters by a margin of 345 to 108 supported a request to renew nearly nine-tenths of a mill to help fund operating, maintaining, constructing and equipping the library, and for all other library-related purposes authorized by law.

The request will allow the district to continue receiving about $95,000 annually, which represents about 75 percent of the library’s annual budget.
