He said he is hopeful residents will support the replacement levy this year. Herron said the levy passed by around 60 percent the first time. “If we lose that it would just be devastation to the fire department and to the residents of Jackson Township,” Herron said about the levy. He said they also would not be able to afford EMS services from other townships. Herron said without a levy, the fire department would not be able to afford these salaries or any new equipment. He said it is estimated that the levy will generate $109,000, which would go toward fire department operations including equipment, salaries and supplies as well as contracted EMS services. Herron said the 2 mill levy would cost home owners approximately $30 per year for a house valued at $50,000 and approximately $61 per year for a house valued at $100,000. “We absolutely need this levy to continue to provide services for the residents of Jackson Township,” Herron said. He said because of this, the township lacks industry that would bring in tax money and help support the fire department without outside funding. “Jackson Township is a small township, one of the smallest in Clermont County,” Herron said.
