Towanda Sales Tax Rate will be displayed on the upcoming November election ballots

Voters will see on their ballots for the upcoming November election a question regarding the 1% sales tax for the City of Towanda. The City Council made the decision earlier in the year to place the question on the ballot as a measure to ensure the strength of the City Budget. If the vote passes the 1% will be used as follows: 37% for continued police protection of their Sheriff Department; 37% to shorten the lagoon loan by four years; 18% swimming pool; 8% city equipment replacement, expenditures and infrastructure repair.
