Grant County mill rate increasing

Grant County homeowners will pay more in county property taxes next year. Supervisors approved a roughly 93-million-dollar 2027 budget Tuesday in a 14-to-1 vote. The county tax rate will rise from about $2.73 to $3.30 per thousand dollars of equalized value. That’s an increase of about $57 a year on a $100,000 property. The increase is largely tied to borrowing for highway projects and equipment. The operating portion of the tax rate is expected to decline. Board Chair Bob Keeney voted against the budget, citing concerns about the county’s fund balance.

Large Grant for Public Transit

The Black Hawk County Gaming Association has awarded a $750,000 grant to improve public transit in Waterloo and Cedar Falls. A joint initiative between the cities and MET Transit is looking to raise a total of $4.6million to fund a micro-transit pilot program. The program will use smaller passenger vans to navigate designated zones to provide shared rides that connect riders directly to their destination or link them efficiently to MET Transit’s existing fixed route bus network. Ideally, it would be a “first-mile/last-mile” connector. Specific passenger fares remain under evaluation but the program aims to lower transit barriers, shorten travel times, and increase ridership across the transit system.
