Referendum Document
Hancock County Voters will be asked a "2018 Saftey and Security Project" question at the bottom of the ballot during the primaries. The question will ask voters whether they support an increase in the property tax rate to finance the project:

*The question will read: "Shall Hancock County issue bonds or enter into a lease to finance the 2018 Safety and Security Project, which includes the construction, renovation and expansion of county Criminal Justice Center Complex facilities and the repair of the courthouse roof, which is estimated to cost not more than $55 million and is estimated to increase the property tax rate for debt service by a maximum of $0.1436 per $100 of assessed valuation?"
