Talking up a tax proposition
At least four community meetings are in the planning stages of the Corinth-Shiloh Fire Department to help explain and muster support for its referendum in November. As part of the General Election, the question of accepting higher property taxes to create a 24/7 paid fire station will be a referendum to be decided by Oconee County voters inside the Corinth-Shiloh service territory. If successful, Corinth-Shiloh will join the Keowee Fire Department as the only paid stations serving unincorporated sections of the county. Kevin Christenbury, Corinth-Shiloh’s volunteer chief, says the community meetings will take place September 14, October 5, October 14, and November 3.
