(KMZA)--Voters in the Marshall County community of Frankfort will decide during the November 8th general election whether to levy a half-percent retailers' sales tax within the city to fund operations and capital improvements at the Frankfort Community Care Home.
The Frankfort City Council voted at its August meeting to place the question on the ballot.
The half percent sales tax would be in addition to the existing one percent sales tax for the city of Frankfort.
The not-for-profit nursing home employs about 50 people and has 29 residents.
The Marysville Advocate reports the sales tax would raise about $80,000 a year for the facility.
If approved by votes, the sales tax would take effect January 1, 2023 and be in place for 4 years.
