Archive: Taylor talking with WKRC regarding Batavia Township
Posted By RichC on November 14, 2024
After a great visit with Taylor in Florida last week for his planning conference, he’s right back into the hornet’s nest in trying to find the best way to navigate economic growth and housing development in his township. The battle lines are being drawn between fairly large housing developers and builders who are growth focused and residents seeing more homes straining the community resources.
My thoughts are “as a property tax payer” and knowing that property values are forcibly being increased in a couple SW Ohio counties by 40+%. My discussion with Taylor before his Cincinnati WKRC News interview was to give him a little insight from the “property taxpayer perspective” facing huge increases split over the next few years. With hundreds new homes, all services such as fire, schools and roads will be asking for new tax levies … and I doubt any existing resident will be interested in even higher taxes.
Anyway … here’s an archive for posterity sake … since I’ve done the same for Katelyn. 😉
