Union County • August 19, 2025
Good morning, Union County. Delaware County property owners have something to celebrate as commissioners extend their tax rollback for a fourth consecutive year. The 0.5-mill reduction will provide nearly $6.9 million in relief for 2025, bringing the program's total tax savings to an impressive $25 million since its launch. It's a financial bright spot that officials attribute to strong collaboration between taxpayers and county leadership in managing growth.
Education takes center stage across the region this week with Fairbanks School Board meeting today at 7:00 p.m. to tackle everything from construction updates to nutrition standards. All district employees currently meet or are working toward proper certification requirements for the upcoming school year. Meanwhile, Marysville schools have scheduled a September 18th public hearing regarding the potential re-employment of retired principal Joe Smith – a process that community members are welcome to attend and provide input.
