Miami County commissioners are hoping voters in November will renew a quarter-cent sales tax to continue funding road and bridge improvements throughout the county. Commissioners, during their Aug. 28 meeting, unanimously agreed to put the question on the general election ballot Nov. 5. The five-year tax would take effect Jan. 1, 2026, upon the expiration of the current quarter-cent sales tax. Before approving the ballot wording, commissioners asked for a slight modification so the words “continue to levy” could be added. The ballot wording would mirror what was proposed five years ago, and it would emphasize that this would be a renewal of an existing tax, not a new one.
