Chester Township voters turned down a five-year, 2-mill additional road levy on Nov. 3, the Geauga County Maple Leaf reported.
With the measure defeated, township trustees face decisions about how to fund road maintenance and paving work while costs are climbing, according to the newspaper's account. The article describes trustees as needing to reassess those plans following the vote.
The report did not provide the vote count, turnout figures or an estimate of how much revenue the levy would have generated. It also did not specify what projects or road work might be affected, or whether trustees have scheduled further discussion.
The levy was characterized as an additional millage for roads, separate from existing township road funding. No statements from trustees or campaign organizers were available in the published text.
Chester Township is in Geauga County, east of Cleveland. The Maple Leaf's full story was accessible only to subscribers, limiting details beyond the opening summary of the outcome.
