A proposed temporary property tax increase would pay for a $2 million loan to improve Brown County roads.
The county commissioners are proceeding with a $2 million loan, with a 1.25 percent interest rate, that will be paid back by a three-year property tax hike.
Property owners would pay about four cents for every $100 of assessed value.
Most of the cash would be used to upgrade road conditions, and some might be set aside for a new community building at the county fairgrounds or other public projects.
