Dust Control Options Being Considered
The reason Greenwood Township is not doing road brining or dust control this year is because the county raised the price to over $19,000 per application nor do we have the option of when we want it applied. We are trying to locate another source, but so far to no avail. The township is considering putting a millage on the November ballot for a half mil which would give us approximately $30,000.00 a year that we can then use for dust control for 2024.
