Grosse Ile Township — New Millage for Greenways/Open Space (Wayne County)

What it does

Shall Grosse Ile Township impose an increase of up to 0.10 mill ($0.10 per $1,000 of taxable value) in the total tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution and levy it for a period of 3 years, 2026 through 2028 inclusive, to provide funds for the purpose of maintenance and repair of public property and trails designated as greenways/open space properties, which 0.10 mill increase will raise an estimated $83,614 in the first year the millage is levied, of which a small portion will be disbursed to the Grosse Ile Township Downtown Development Authority and Brownfield Authority as legally required?

A YES vote means

Grosse Ile Township would levy a new tax of up to 0.10 mill for 3 years, 2026 through 2028, to maintain and repair greenway and open space properties and trails, raising about $83,614 the first year.

A NO vote means

Grosse Ile Township would not levy this new greenways millage.

What it would cost

Up to 0.1 mills (estimated) for 3 years: $10 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
