(KMZA)--Nemaha Central USD 115 will hold two community meetings on the $24.2 million bond issue that will face voters during the November 8th general election.

The first meeting will take place Tuesday evening, October 18, and the second meeting on Wednesday, November 2.  Both meetings will be at 7 pm at the Nemaha Central High School commons  

The meetings will include a presentation on the bond proposal and opportunity for patrons to asks questions.  

The bond issue would fund an early childhood center addition and cafeteria improvements at the elementary/middle school, classroom addition and renovations at the high school, and renovations to the existing Career and Technical Education facility.

If approved by voters, the bond issue would be paid off over a 25-year period and require a tax levy of 14.75 mills. The levy would raise taxes on a residential home valued at $150,000 by $254 annually.  

USD 115 patrons last November soundly defeated a $37.6 million bond issue for facility improvements.
