Porter Library Seeking Approval of 2.8-Mill Renewal Levy

Item on the primary ballot would pay $85.75 annually for library operations.

Westlake’s Porter Public Library voters is asking for support to approve a five-year, 2.8-mill renewal levy on May. 7. The levy will be used for funding operations at the library.

If approved, the levy would generate $3.82 million per year to help support the library’s $4.7 million annual budget.

The current levy, approved in 2008, expires at the end of 2013. That levy earned a 57.6 approval from voters.
