Batavia Public Library District tax hike narrowly approved
The Batavia Library District has won its request for a tax increase, which it characterized as more of a tax continuation.
Voters narrowly approved increasing the tax with 6,055 voters in support and 6,006 opposed, according to unofficial results Tuesday.
Library supporters said the increase is essentially a swap for the 7 cents the library has been charging to pay back the money it borrowed in 1998 to buy land and build the current building at 10 S. Batavia Ave., which will be paid off in December.
