The Village of Arcanum residents will be given the opportunity to vote on two issues of local importance in the upcoming election. The first is a “renewal” of a two mill tax for the benefit of the Village of Arcanum for the purpose of fire protection. As Arcanum’s volunteer Fire Department is one of the finest in the region and has provided the Village of Arcanum and surrounding Townships with excellent protection for many years, we strongly endorse the passage of this renewal levy!

The second is a one mill “additional” tax for the Village of Arcanum for the purpose of parks and recreation, specifically to provide additional monies to match with grant funding to acquire upgraded and improved equipment in our parks and to allow for capital improvements at our parksand municipal swimming pool. As our parks and pool are a source of pride and enjoyment for our community, we encourage all of our Arcanum residents to vote in favor of this levy!
