Oregon seeks renewal of local senior levy in November
Oregon residents will be voting on two levies for senior services this November, one for the Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio and one for the Oregon Senior Center. The Area Office on Aging issue is a countywide levy. The agency is seeking a total of 1 mill for five years. It is a combination of the existing 0.75-mill levy, which expires at the end of 2024, plus an additional 0.25 mills. The Oregon Senior Center is seeking approval from Oregon voters for a 0.5-mill levy renewal. First passed in 2013 and renewed in 2018, the Oregon levy raises about $225,000 annually. This year, the levy would generate around $250,000 because of property tax values increasing after new construction in the city. Funds generated by the Oregon levy pay for a variety of senior services, including transportation inside the city limits to help seniors get to medical appointments and accomplish other tasks, such as grocery shopping. Associated transportation costs include vehicle lease, maintenance, staffing, and insurance.
