Tuberculosis levy will be on fall ballot

YOUNGSTOWN

The Mahoning County Commissioners this morning passed a resolution of necessity to place a 0.1-mill, five-year tuberculosis prevention and control levy on the November ballot for renewal.

The countywide real estate tax levy raises about $176,540 a year and costs the owner of a $100,000 home $1.20 a year.

The levy, first enacted in 1976, funds a TB clinic at 496 Glenwood Ave.
