In a recent government meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved a motion to close a problematic access point at the Paulding County line, aiming to address ongoing issues of littering and unauthorized parking. The decision followed discussions highlighting concerns raised by community members about the negative impact of traffic and litter in the area. Barriers will be erected to prevent access, effectively curbing the influx of vehicles from neighboring counties.

Additionally, the board addressed the 2024 tax levy, confirming a full rollback of the millage rate from 6.6710 to 6.3630. This reduction is seen as a significant benefit for local taxpayers, particularly due to Carroll County's unique floating homestead exemption, which allows property values to be locked in dating back to 2002. The resolution, which also includes various homestead exemptions, was met with unanimous support from the board, emphasizing the commitment to easing the tax burden on residents.

The meeting concluded with the announcement that there would be no further sessions in August or September, as all agenda items had been addressed. The board's proactive measures reflect a focus on community welfare and fiscal responsibility.
