Renewal Levies Information Event in Forest Grove

For Immediate Release: Monday, September 27, 2010

County Service Fair at Forest Grove Farmers Market Sept. 29

Washington County's public information effort about countywide public safety and library renewal levies on the ballot this November will involve eight events designed to provide voters with impartial information. The next event will convene at the Forest Grove Farmers Market on Main Street between 21st and Pacific Avenue in Forest Grove on Wednesday, September 29, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. (Due to a change in market hours, the ending time is an hour earlier than indicated on invitation cards sent to Forest Grove voters.)

The eight county service fairs are intended to provide neutral information about Measure 34-179, the Public Safety Levy Renewal, and Measure 34-180, the Library Levy Renewal. The events will include information about the proposed services and costs for property tax payers. Two service fairs are planned within each of Washington County's four commissioner districts.
