morning.
McDONOUGH â It appears a suggested increase to the countyâs millage rate may not happen due to lack of support from the Henry County Board of Commissioners.
The proposed 1-mill increase, worth about $8 million, was recommended by county staff during the March 30 fiscal year 2022 budget workshop. A millage increase would result in higher property taxes.

But otherwise, all seems quiet. But don’t worry, work is about to begin.
US 70 is destined to become Interstate I-42 connecting Morehead City and Raleigh with a 151-mile band free of intersections and traffic lights. The work is being done in bits and pieces over several years, replacing those intersections with exits that often include roundabouts and allowing beach runs or dashes to the culture of the big cities to be a 70-mph breeze.
