Anderson County fire commission tax levy passes with nearly 50/50 split
With 4.48% turnout for the vote, the Anderson County Fire Commission fire tax levy passed on Tuesday.
A total of 83 votes separated the two sides, according to preliminary results provided by the Anderson County elections and registration department. This includes absentee ballots cast ahead of Tuesday.
The results will be certified on Thursday morning, elections and registrations director Katy Smith said.
A total of 2,417 voters cast their ballot in favor of raising their taxes to support the county fire department. There were 2,234 votes cast against the referendum.
Anderson County assistant fire chief Brian Moon said the additional money is needed to begin replacing fire engines and equipment for the 27 volunteer stations in the county. Many of the trucks are aging, and national standards require them to be replaced every two decades.
There’s $6 million set aside to assist up to 1,000 Anderson County families with missed rent payments during the pandemic, and approximately $500,000 of that has been given out so far.
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) is available to certain families to assist with rent and utility payments, and AIM Charities director Kristi King-Brock feels the organization is right on track with the disbursements.
“On Monday, we had 52 applications that had been processed and payments made, King-Brock said last week. We had 68 that were in the queue. More than 600 people have already submitted the pre-application and just haven t finished their application.
